INTRODUCTION
Bullying is an aggressive act that is intentional, repeated, and involves an imbalance of power between the perpetrator and the victim.
This issue has become a major concern in educational settings due to its significant impact on all parties involved.
Bullying can take various forms, such as physical violence .
, hitting or damaging the victim's belonging.
, verbal bullying .
nsults, teasing, or calling derogatory name.
, and social bullying , which usually involves exclusion, spreading rumors, or publicly humiliating the victim.
With advances in technology, this form of bullying has now also expanded into the digital realm, known as cyberbullying .
This form is carried out through social media, instant messaging, or other digital platforms, and is often more difficult to control because the perpetrator can hide behind anonymity.
The impact of cyberbullying is often deeper than traditional bullying due to its wide reach and long-lasting effects (Millennium & Flurentin, 2.
The impact of bullying on victims is serious and includes a variety of physical and mental health Many victims of bullying experience severe stress, loss of self-confidence, and mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety.
In more severe cases, victims can even experience long-term trauma or even suicidal thoughts.
Bullying also often impacts victims' academic performance due to fear or insecurity, which makes them reluctant to attend school.
On the other hand, bullies often exhibit problematic behavioral patterns.
They typically exhibit high levels of aggression, lack empathy, and tend to have difficulty controlling their If these behaviors are not addressed properly, bullies can develop into individuals with a tendency toward violence or criminal activity later in life (Irawan et al.

Dina Sukma3 | 55 Amidst the complexity of bullying issues , guidance and counseling (BK) services in schools play a crucial role.
BK services help address bullying cases by providing support to victims and perpetrators and encouraging positive behavioral changes.
One effective approach is individual counseling, which provides a space for victims to express their feelings and process traumatic Furthermore, group counseling is also useful for creating a sense of community and supporting both victims and perpetrators in understanding the impact of their actions.
Techniques such as the Structured Learning Approach (SLA) , which involves training in social skills such as conflict resolution, have proven effective in preventing bullying from an early age.
This approach helps students learn how to resolve differences without resorting to violence or intimidation (Prasetyani, 2.
In addition to focusing on response, guidance and counseling services also play a role in raising awareness among students, teachers, and parents about the importance of creating a safe and supportive school environment.
Regular anti -bullying counseling programs or campaigns in schools can help students understand the consequences of such behavior and encourage them to become agents of positive change.
One study found that a well-designed information service program significantly reduced bullying rates by increasing student awareness of the harmful effects of these actions (Andriati & Maulana, 2.
Through an integrated approach, guidance and counseling services can not only address bullying cases that have already occurred but also prevent similar cases from occurring in the This approach requires the full support of teachers, parents, and the school community to ensure a safe, inclusive, and bullying- free learning environment.

Resilience is an individual's ability to bounce back after experiencing stress or trauma.
In the context of bullying, resilience is crucial for students to overcome psychological impacts such as stress, anxiety, or even depression.
Individual counseling allows students who are victims of bullying to express their emotions and feelings in a safe environment, significantly aiding the recovery process.
Additionally, group counseling offers social support, allowing students to share experiences with fellow victims and feel less alone in their situation.
Research shows that resilience-based interventions delivered through guidance and counseling services can improve students' mental resilience, reduce anxiety levels, and build their confidence to face challenges at school (Irawan et , 2.
Another study conducted by Millenium and Flurentin .
also highlighted that resiliencebased guidance and counseling services are effective in addressing the psychological impact of By improving students' ability to cope with stress, these services not only aid victims' recovery but also enhance students' skills in facing future challenges (Millennium & Flurentin.

In research conducted by Prasetyani .
SLA was proven to reduce aggressive behavior among junior high school students.
This program also helps improve students' communication skills so they can resolve conflicts without resorting to violence (Prasetyani, 2.
Bibliotherapy Bibliotherapy is a technique that uses reading materials such as books, stories, or articles to help students understand the impact of bullying and develop empathy.
By reading relevant stories, students are encouraged to reflect on their actions and understand how their behavior affects This technique also helps victims process their experiences and overcome the trauma they have experienced.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Effectiveness of Counseling-Based Interventions Individual counseling services play a crucial role in helping bullying victims overcome the trauma they have experienced.
In individual counseling sessions, victims are given a safe space to express their feelings without fear of judgment.
This process allows them to process negative experiences, reduce psychological distress, and find ways to cope with the situation they are Individual counseling also helps victims develop healthier coping mechanisms, boosts selfconfidence, and encourages them to return to positive interactions in the school environment.
Additionally, group counseling provides an opportunity for victims to share their experiences with other students who have similar issues.
Through shared discussion and support, victims feel more heard and understood, which helps reduce the sense of isolation often experienced as a result of bullying.
These group forums also allow students to learn from others' experiences and find solutions that can be applied to their own lives.
Research by Ramadhani and Sari .
showed that a combination of individual and group counseling significantly reduced the anxiety levels of bullying victims.
Furthermore, this approach also improves students' ability to adapt to their social environment at school, making them feel more comfortable and secure in carrying out daily activities.
A Proactive Approach to Prevent Bullying A proactive approach is crucial in preventing bullying in schools.
One proven effective method is the Structured Learning Approach (SLA), designed to train students' social skills through simulations and role-playing.
This technique involves scenarios that simulate real-life conflict situations, where students are taught how to resolve conflicts without resorting to violence.
SLA
focuses not only on reducing aggressive behavior but also on helping students understand how their actions affect others.
This training involves developing empathy, emotional control, and effective communication.
Research by Prasetyani .
showed that this method resulted in significant improvements in the social skills of participating students.

By using this approach sustainably, schools can prevent bullying before it occurs, creating a safer and more inclusive environment for all students.
School and Parent Collaboration Collaborative support between schools and parents is a key factor in the success of guidance and counseling services in addressing bullying.
Teachers, counselors, and parents must work together to create a supportive environment for victims and motivate perpetrators to change their Programs that involve parents, such as consultation and counseling sessions, provide a better understanding of their role in addressing bullying.
Through this collaboration, parents can be involved in helping their children develop better social and emotional skills, both as victims and Research by Irawan et al.

For example, through this collaboration, parents can learn how to provide more effective emotional support to their children, while schools can provide advice on how to handle conflict at home.
This collaboration also helps create a sense of collective responsibility between schools and families to ensure that bullying is not only addressed at school but also prevented at home.
