Abstract
This community service activity aims to improve students’ knowledge, understanding, and social skills in preventing and handling bullying behavior in the school environment. The program was implemented at Darul Arqam Muhammadiyah Gombara Makassar Middle School, involving 30 female students as participants. The implementation method included interactive lectures, group discussions, role-play simulations, and evaluations using pre-test and post-test. The results of the activity showed significant improvements in aspects of knowledge about bullying, understanding of child protection rights, social skills, and proactive attitudes in preventing and reporting bullying cases. The average increase reached 18.25%, reflecting the success of the participatory training in building student awareness and positive attitudes. This activity is a first step toward realizing a school culture that is safe, inclusive, and supportive of the holistic development of students. The sustainability of the program through mentoring and cross-sector collaboration is recommended to ensure long-term impact in efforts to prevent bullying in the educational environment.
