Bullying di lingkungan sekolah menjadi persoalan serius karena berdampak pada kesejahteraan psikologis dan relasi sosial peserta didik. Penguatan pendidikan karakter berbasis nilai religius dipandang strategis untuk mencegah dan menangani perundungan secara komprehensif. Penelitian ini bertujuan: 1) mendeskripsikan bentuk-bentuk perilaku bullying yang terjadi di SMP Negeri 2 Parittiga; dan 2) menganalisis strategi guru Pendidikan Agama Islam dalam menanggulangi perilaku bullying di sekolah tersebut.

Metode penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan desain field research. Subjek meliputi kepala sekolah, guru PAI, guru Bimbingan dan Konseling (BK), serta peserta didik. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi partisipatif, wawancara mendalam semi-terstruktur, dan studi dokumentasi, lalu dianalisis menggunakan analisis tematik melalui tahapan pengodean, pengelompokan tema, dan interpretasi berbasis teori.

Hasil penelitian di SMP Negeri 2 Parittiga menunjukkan bahwa praktik bullying mencakup empat bentuk utama meliputi: 1) bullying verbal menjadi bentuk paling dominan; 2) bullying fisik yang menimbulkan dampak fisik sekaligus tekanan psikologis, 3) bullying relasional (sosial) teridentifikasi melalui tekanan kelompok (peer pressure), solidaritas negatif, pengucilan, serta dominasi sosial dalam relasi senior–junior; dan 4) bullying tidak langsung (indirect bullying) berlangsung secara terselubung. Strategi Guru PAI dalam menanggulangi bullying meliputi: 1) preventif, melalui integrasi nilai anti-bullying dalam pembelajaran akhlak serta program religius sekolah seperti salat berjamaah, kultum, dan tadarus; 2) kuratif, melalui pendekatan persuasif dan restoratif; 3) represif dan pembinaan lanjutan, melalui penegakan tata tertib dan sanksi edukatif bagi pelanggaran berulang; 4) integrasi nilai religius sebagai fondasi strategis. Implikasi penelitian menegaskan pentingnya manajemen pendidikan yang kolaboratif dan berbasis nilai dalam menciptakan iklim sekolah yang aman. Kontribusi penelitian terletak pada model integratif strategi yang memadukan pendidikan karakter religius dan manajemen pendidikan dalam penanggulangan bullying.
