The phenomenon of bullying in vocational high schools is a social issue that requires serious attention because it impacts students' psychological well-being and character development. This Community Service activity aims to raise students' awareness of combating bullying through a participatory educational approach at SMK HS Agung, Karang Bahagia. The activity methods included interactive counseling, educational video screenings, reflective discussions, and role-play simulations that fostered students' understanding, empathy, and ability to recognize and prevent bullying behavior. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in students' understanding of the various forms of bullying, particularly verbal and social, as well as a growing courage to reject and report bullying. A questionnaire evaluation revealed an increase in moral awareness and empathy after the activity. Thus, the active participation-based educational approach has proven effective in instilling anti-bullying values and building a safe, comfortable, and character-based school culture.
