<![CDATA[This study was motivated by the continued presence of bullying behavior in school settings, which can affect students’ character development. Social environments play a crucial role in shaping students’ attitudes and behaviors; thus, unhealthy social interactions have the potential to trigger bullying. Based on observations at SMK Nurul Huda, the students’ social environment is generally positive; however, cases of bullying among students have still been identified. This study aims to determine the influence of the social environment on bullying behavior in schools. This study employs a quantitative approach using a quantitative descriptive analytical method. Data collection techniques include observation, questionnaire distribution, interviews, and documentation. The study population consists of 288 students at SMK Nurul Huda, and the entire population was used as the study sample. Data analysis used the Product Moment technique. The results showed that the rxy value was 0.510, while the rt value at the 5% significance level was 0.227 and at the 1% significance level was 0.296. Since the rxy value was greater than the rt value at both significance levels, the Alternative Hypothesis (Ha) was accepted and the Null Hypothesis (Ho) was rejected. Thus, it can be concluded that the social environment influences bullying behavior in schools.]]>
