Abstract

The prevalence of bullying among adolescents is getting higher these days. This behavior arises because of a lack of literacy about bullying behavior and inappropriate attitudes towards bullying behavior itself. To reduce the prevalence of bullying among adolescents, it is necessary to hold interventions, both as a preventive and curative effort. This study aims to see how effective peer counselor training is as an effort to reduce the prevalence of bullying behavior in adolescents against changes in the level of knowledge and attitudes about bullying behavior. This study used a quantitative approach, involving 26 participants (male = 4, female = 22) aged 15 to 18 years. The peer counselor training activity itself consists of several methods including (1) Education and Training, (2) Display, (3) Roleplay, (4) Focus Group Discussion, (5) Field assignments, (6) Pre-test and post- test, and (7) Dissemination of knowledge and skills to other students. The data in this study were analyzed using the SPSS ver. 26 for Windows. Through this research, it is proven that peer counselor training can significantly increase knowledge and form a more negative attitude towards bullying behavior, seen from the two-tailed sig score p <0.05. The results of this study have the potential to be used as an effort to reduce the prevalence of youth bullying in Indonesia.
