Provide various kinds of learning models so that children can interact and work together and respect each other with other friends. Provide strict rules to prevent bullying and give sanctions to students who commit bullying.20 Bullying in adolescents still exists in the school environment without any warning and sanctions given to the perpetrators, which causes much more bullying victims to come out. Teachers' role is very important to prevent bullying in the school environment; the explanations of bullying are needed to create a comfortable and safe environment and avoid bullying. There are many reasons for students to do bullying in school, first is that they do not care for each other between friends that makes the higher number of bullying; second, the perpetrators are also victims of bullying; the third is that the perpetrators do bullying so that they would be considered great and feared by many people, fourth is the need to do revenge.21 Another reason students do bullying because they do not know the impact of bullying behaviour; for students who know and understand the impact of bullying, they will not do it.22 If the bullying case is not handled immediately, there will be more victims and it will cause impacts such as fear, stress, anxiety, insecurity and suicide. According to the counselling teacher, students do not want to go to class because they often receive bullying from their peers.
