Abstract

This study aims to explore the effectiveness of educational media activities in reducing bullying among students in public high schools. The main objectives are to examine how these activities enhance students' social skills, raise awareness about bullying, and foster a safe, positive school environment. The study adopts a descriptive-analytical approach, using surveys distributed to a randomly selected sample of 123 educational media specialists in public schools in Egypt.
The results indicated that educational media activities significantly enhance students' awareness of bullying, including its causes and consequences. These activities also promote positive behaviors, reduce aggressive actions, and encourage open communication among students. Furthermore, the findings emphasized the importance of educational media in fostering collaboration among teachers, parents, and students to address bullying effectively.
The study concludes that educational media is a powerful tool in combating bullying when implemented effectively. It recommends designing more interactive and engaging media programs tailored to students' needs and involving all stakeholders to ensure a safer and more supportive school environment.
