Abstract

This research aims to identify the impact of bullying on the socio-emotional development of elementary school children so that readers can anticipate or take action if they encounter such behavior. The main focus is on the causes of bullying and its relationship to children's socio-emotional well-being. This research is a qualitative study using a literature review method. The study findings show that bullying can affect children's mental health, both as perpetrators and victims. Therefore, among the consequences of bullying for children who are perpetrators are a tendency to have low awareness and suboptimal social skills, and often exhibit deviant behavior. For example, showing excessive activity in their surroundings. In addition, bullies are also at risk of experiencing psychological disorders such as emotional instability and others. Meanwhile, the impact of bullying on children who are victims includes physical and non-physical violence, such as feeling socially isolated, having no close friends, disharmonious relationships with parents, and a decline in mental health. The most serious impact is the emergence of depression that can lead to suicide. The implication is the need for collaboration between schools, teachers, and families to address bullying against children.
