<![CDATA[Peer violence and bullying are common problems in senior high school environments. Cases of violence against children reported to the Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI), particularly those involving bullying, remain a significant concern that requires attention, especially when such incidents occur in educational settings. The negative consequences of these behaviors include impaired mental health, decreased academic achievement, and disrupted social relationships among students. This community service activity aimed to improve high school students’ knowledge and awareness of the forms, impacts, and prevention strategies related to peer violence. The activity was conducted at a public senior high school in Baubau City. The methods included educational sessions, interactive discussions, educational video presentations, and evaluation through pre-tests and post-tests. The results showed an increase in students’ mean knowledge scores from 68.3 in the pre-test to 89.7 in the post-test. In addition, students demonstrated improved understanding of the importance of empathy, assertive communication, and the courage to report acts of violence to school authorities. This activity had a positive impact on increasing students’ awareness of the dangers of peer violence and the importance of creating a safe, supportive, and comfortable school environment.]]>
