This community service activity aimed to enhance students' understanding and awareness regarding bullying prevention through education on digital footprints, while also encouraging the wise and responsible use of social media. Conducted on December 15, 2025, the activity targeted students at SMP Negeri 3 Kongbeng using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach. The activity stages included problem identification, action planning, education, case study analysis, participatory discussion, simulation, observation, and reflection. Evaluation was carried out descriptively through observation, Q&A sessions, responses to case studies, reflection sheets, and participant commitments. The results demonstrated positive changes in students' understanding of the forms and impacts of bullying, increased awareness of digital footprints, and the emergence of a more cautious and responsible attitude toward social media usage. Student participation was evident through active engagement in discussions, case analyses, simulations, and reflections. The activity indicates that integrating digital footprint education with bullying prevention via the PAR approach serves as a relevant preventive strategy for fostering awareness and responsible digital behavior among junior high school students. Program sustainability achieved through ongoing guidance and periodic reinforcement of digital literacy is essential to ensure that this shift in awareness evolves into consistent behavior.
