Abstract

Based on the provisions in Law Number 35 of 2014 of Amendments to Law Number 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection, the educational unit environment, children are required to obtain protection from acts of physical, psychological, sexual violence, and other crimes that carried out by educators, education staff, fellow students, and/or other parties. Included in these provisions is bullying, both physical and verbal. Even though it has been prohibited by law, bullying still often occurs in educational institutions, especially during the orientation period for new students. The bullying occurred on the basis of a misunderstanding that during the new student orientation period, bullying was one of the steps to mentally shape the new students. This article aims to construct steps to prevent bullying from occurring in educational institutions. The research method used in this article is normative legal research with a statutory, case, and conceptual approach. The results of the study indicate that bullying can be prevented through character education of children through (1) Providing information to children about bullying in schools; (2) Fostering children to be able to control their emotions; (3) Counselling services for children in schools; (4) Socialization or counselling about the law regarding the cultivation of good morals to students by related parties, such as teachers, counselling supervisors and even law enforcement officers; (5) Involve parents in problem solving when children are bullying.
