The lack of understanding of students and the community in the school environment regarding bullying means that bullying is still widespread, therefore there needs to be a role for guidance and counseling teachers in dealing with bullying that occurs. For this reason, there is a need for guidance and counseling services for students as perpetrators and victims or the entire school community. This research aims to determine the role of guidance and counseling teachers at SMP Negeri 1 Katibung Lsampung Selatan and what efforts are being made.
