BULLYING AT SCHOOL: SEBUAH KEGAGALAN PROSES SOSIALISASI (TINJAUAN SOSIOLOGI PENDIDIKAN)
Keywords:
bullying, socialization, sociology of educationAbstract
Bullying in schools is a social problem that indicates schools have not yet fully succeeded in carrying out their role in instilling positive social values. Schools are supposed to be places for learning morality, empathy, and mutual respect. However, in reality, they often become spaces where violence, mockery, and domination among students emerge. This study employs a qualitative method by reviewing various scholarly sources discussing bullying from the perspective of the sociology of education. The research problem focuses on how the phenomenon of bullying in schools reflects the failure of the socialization process within educational environments. The purpose of this study is to analyze the causes, impacts, and the role of schools as agents of socialization in preventing bullying behavior. The findings indicate that the main causes of bullying include weak social supervision, a culture of seniority, poor teacher student relationships, and a lack of understanding about the importance of mutual respect. Based on structural functionalism and social control theories, bullying represents a disruption of balance within the school environment. Its impact not only causes trauma to victims but also reduces their sense of safety and motivation to learn. Therefore, teachers, schools, parents, and communities must work together to foster positive character, empathy, and create a safe and respectful school environment.
