Bullying is a social problem that affects individuals of all ages, genders, and backgrounds. Bullying is characterized by repeated acts of aggression, intimidation, or exclusion, often by individuals or groups with greater power or influence.
In this era, there are still some people in Indonesia who may have low awareness of bullying. Even though this action has an impact that we cannot ignore and even has a long-term impact. And even though there are those who witness this bad behavior, they watch it and even record it.
Children who are victims of bullying try to complain about this to their parents, some even think that this is a normal thing "namanya juga anak-anak" is the answer that usually comes out. They don't realize that their answer can make the child become less open to them. This can interfere with their mental and psychological health. Which can lead to depression.
Sometimes, the action taken by the school to resolve this problem is simply to resolve it within the family. This cannot guarantee the mental health and trauma of bullying victims. Some of them object to this, but they lack the courage to express it. In addition, there are bullying cases in the cyber world. Such as provoking, hate speech, and hate comments that can even make victims depressed, which can also lead to suicide.
