<![CDATA[Implementation of Child-Friendly Schools in the Prevention of Student BullyingThis study aims to analyze the implementation of the Child Friendly School (CFS) program at SMP Negeri 39 Medan and to identify its supporting and inhibiting factors. A qualitative approach was employed, using in-depth interviews with the school counselor and the principal as key informants. The findings reveal that the CFS program has been implemented through several concrete measures, including curriculum adjustments emphasizing tolerance and respect, teacher training to prevent bullying, parental involvement through parenting classes, as well as the provision of a student complaint system and counseling services. School discipline is also applied in a more humanistic way, making students more compliant because they feel respected rather than afraid of punishment. Nevertheless, this study also highlights several challenges, such as limited supporting facilities (health unit and library) and the persistence of student conflicts. Overall, SMP Negeri 39 Medan is on the right track in implementing CFS, although continuous evaluation, facility improvement, and synergy with stakeholders are required to achieve the ideal objectives of a truly child-friendly school. ]]>
