Bullying dan Kesehatan Mental: Studi Literatur Tentang Dampak Di Berbagai Tingkat Sekolah

Abstract

Bullying is an act committed by an individual or group to harm someone physically or psychologically by individuals or groups who feel they have power and are repeated. Data from the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection (2023) shows that around 40% of children in Indonesia have been victims of bullying. The impact of bullying is not only physical, but also psychological that can last into adulthood. This study aims to explore the impact of bullying among students at different levels of education. The method used in this research is library research with data obtained from google scholar. The results showed that bullying can cause psychological disorders such as stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma, as well as physical disorders. In addition, bullying hinders students' social and academic development, causes feelings of isolation and low self-esteem, and lowers academic achievement. At the secondary education level, bullying can trigger self-harm behavior or suicidal ideation.
