Bullying is an oppressive behavior carried out repeatedly by perpetrators who areusually stronger than the victims and it often has negative impacts on both the perpetratorsand the victims. Cases of bullying in schools are increasing every year, indicating that thecurrent handling of the problem of bullying has not been comprehensive and complete. Inbullying situations, apart from perpetrators and victims, there are also other roles in it,namely observers. Often, the handling or prevention of bullying is more focused on victimsand perpetrators, even though the third parties have the possibility to play an important rolein preventing bullying. Most bullying prevention programs are only directed at theperpetrators and victims of bullying. In this article, the authors propose an anti-bullyingapplication for junior high school students, named antibully. id.
