The Role of Guidance and Counseling Teachers in the Prevention of Bullying in the Alpha Generation

Abstract

The issue of bullying has become a pressing concern in the context of education, especially in the digital age and with the development of the Alpha generation. In addressing this issue, the role of guidance and counseling (BK) teachers becomes very important. BK teachers are not only responsible for creating a safe and supportive school environment, but also have a central role in identifying signs of bullying, providing appropriate interventions, and providing emotional and social support to victims of bullying. Literature studies show that counseling teachers also have a proactive role in educating students, parents and school staff about the importance of bullying prevention. They often use individual or group counseling methods, conduct social skills training, and develop anti-bullying programs in schools. In addition, collaboration with various parties, including parents, school staff and the community, is key in creating effective bullying prevention strategies. Thus, improving BK teachers' skills and knowledge in understanding and addressing bullying issues will enable them to be effective agents of change in creating a safe, inclusive and supportive school environment for all students. Further research and the implementation of sustainable prevention programs will be crucial in addressing the challenges of bullying in this digital age
