This study aims to describe the forms of verbal bullying, analyze the preventive strategies of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers, and identify supporting and inhibiting factors at SMA Al Husna, Bogor Regency. Utilizing a qualitative case study approach, data were gathered from PAI teachers, the principal, guidance counselors, and students through interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis applied the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings reveal that verbal bullying includes mocking parents' names, calling peers animal names, harsh language, and insults.
