Various methods were used to minimize the incidence of bullying in schools, and at home including one of the National Commission for Child Protection urged the school to better protect and pay attention to their students. Speaking of child violence, it was found that children could be the subject / actor and object of violence. Children as perpetrators of violence / subject, usually because he has experience as an object of violence itself. Children behave like that as part of imitation or expression of their experiences, whether conscious or not. Violence in children depends on parenting and the pattern of treatment of parents towards children. Child care patterns also greatly affect the child's personality. This parenting style determines how children interact with their parents. Bullying actors will assume that the best way to solve the problem is by means of violence or the perpetrator thinks that by intimidating others it will fulfill his wishes. This will encourage the nature of thuggery that will carry over into adulthood and cause discomfort in the community.
