Cases of bullying in Indonesia continue to rise each year, with the highest incidence occurring at the elementary school level, a pattern also observed among elementary-aged children in Kelurahan Belakang Gedung, Pasar Manna District, South Bengkulu Regency, who frequently display rude behavior and speech toward peers, raising concern that such behavior may escalate into bullying if left unaddressed. In response, the KKN Team of Bengkulu University Period 108 Group 112 carried out a community service activity, "Stop Bullying: Building a Polite and Anti-Bullying Generation," at SDN 1 South Bengkulu for 60 sixth-grade students, using interactive education, a 3 magic words demonstration, ice-breaking, a short-animation screening, and an educational quiz with rewards. Results showed students were enthusiastic and actively engaged, with improved understanding of the forms and impacts of bullying. This activity is important as an early preventive step in fostering polite habits and preventing rude behavior from escalating into bullying within the school environment.
