Furthermore, it highlights the important role of families, schools, and communities in preventing and addressing bullying through educational approaches and psychological support. The discussion demonstrates that bullying is a complex phenomenon that requires collaboration between various parties to create a safe, inclusive, and violence-free environment. By understanding its characteristics and impacts, it is hoped that the community can be more responsive and play an active role in minimizing bullying.
