<![CDATA[Bullying is a serious problem in the school environment that affects students’ physical, psychological, and social aspects, including at SMK Bakti Purwokerto. Based on an initial survey, most students only understood the definition of bullying, indicating the need for educational interventions to improve students’ knowledge. This Community Service activity aimed to increase the knowledge of 40 students from grades XI and XII of the Visual Communication Design (DKV) department regarding bullying. The methods used were lectures and interactive discussions accompanied by pretests and posttests. The learning media consisted of PowerPoint presentations and a pocket book containing information on the definition, types, causes, impacts, and prevention strategies of bullying. The results showed a significant increase in students’ knowledge, where before the educational intervention, 60% of students were in the low knowledge category and only 2.5% were in the good category. After the intervention, 85% of students reached the good knowledge category, and none remained in the low category. It is recommended that the school establish an Anti-Bullying Team and provide regular education or socialization activities at the beginning of each academic year to ensure the sustainability of bullying prevention efforts. The outputs of this activity include increased student knowledge, publication in a community service journal, and intellectual property rights (IPR) in the form of a pocket book.]]>
