The research participants include students who were victims of verbal bullying, classroom teachers, and parents of the students, selected using purposive sampling technique. Data collection techniques involve observing, conducting in-depth interviews, and documenting information. The data analysis was done using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Research shows that students who experience verbal bullying go through various emotional experiences such as feeling sad, ashamed, scared, anxious, and lacking self-confidence. These feelings come from being teased, insulted, teased, and given negative nicknames repeatedly by peers.
