LOVE YOURSELF, LOVE OTHERS: MENGAJARKAN SISWA SD MENGHARGAI DIRI SENDIRI DAN SESAMA

Abstract

School is a place where children learn and develop themselves. Children studying in primary school are developing their character and social skills through interaction with the wider social environment. Therefore, the school social environment is quite crucial. Bullying and self-harm among elementary school students are serious problems that can have a negative impact on children's mental and emotional development. At SDN P, bullying behavior was found among students in grades 4 to 6, as well as several cases of self-harm among students in grades 5 and 6. This has a negative impact on the well-being of students at school. Therefore, a psychoeducational activity entitled "Love Yourself, Love Others" was held to increase students' understanding of the negative impact of bullying and the importance of self-love, so as to reduce bullying and self-harm behaviors. The methods used in this activity include psychoeducation that provides material on bullying and self-love, experience sharing sessions, and self-report activities. The implementation of activities involves direct interaction with students, data collection through observation and self-report. The results of the activity showed an increase in students' awareness of the importance of stopping bullying and practicing self-love. Thus, the "Love Yourself, Love Others" activity successfully made a positive contribution in creating a healthier school environment and supporting students' mental development and well-being. This program demonstrates that education on mental health and positive values can be effectively implemented at the primary school level to address the issues of bullying and self-harm.
