FOSTERING AND GUARDING BEHAVIORS TOWARDS BULLYING BY PLAYING DOCUMENTARY FILM FOR STUDENTS AT SCHOOL OF SDN 07 SIMPANGAN

Abstract

Bullying is the act of using power to harm individuals or groups through verbal, physical, or psychological means, causing victims to feel traumatized, depressed, and Students who fall victim to bullying face an increased likelihood of encountering a range of health issues, both physical and mental. These problems, which are more prevalent among children who experience bullying, encompass various mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbances that can persist into adulthood. Additionally, they may suffer from physical complaints like headaches, stomachaches, and muscle tension, as well as feelings of insecurity within the school environment, leading to diminished enthusiasm for learning and academic performance. In exceptional cases,

children subjected to bullying may even display violent behavior, as demonstrated by a 15-year- old teenager in Denpasar, Bali, who went so far as to contemplate harming a peer due to

longstanding resentment. The perpetrator admitted that he had often been the target of the victim's bullying for a long time. This project aims to determine the factors that cause bullying by school children, roles in bullying acts, and types of bullying. This research relies on a documentation study as its data source. In this project, it has been observed that the factors influencing the occurrence of bullying can stem from various sources, including individuals, families, peer groups, and the community environment in which the perpetrator resides. This action highlights the close connection between the world of social work, which in this case is required to be a counselor for the bully.
