Adolescence is a vulnerable phase full of changes and challenges. Changes can be biological, cognitive, and social changes. The stages of adolescent developmental tasks are based on ego integrity to establish a stable self-identity and determine roles. Identity lapses often occur in adolescence such as bullying behavior that can cause psychological and physical problems in victims and perpetrators. Adolescents experiencing bullying behavior require resilience as an adaptive coping mechanism for managing external and internal pressures within the individual. The purpose of this study is to find out the relationship of bullying behavior to adolescent resilience. This study uses a quantitative correlational method with a cross sectional approach. The variables studied were bullying behavior and resilience. Demographic characteristics in this study include age, gender, and living with whom. The sample of this study amounted to 163 respondents taken with Accidental Sampling technique. The results of this study showed that respondents who behaved bullying were 99 respoden (60.7%) and those who did not behave bullying were 64 respondents (39.3%), overall respondents had a high resilience rate of 61 respondents (37.4%). The results showed a relationship (p value = 0.000 and r of -0.684) with strong interpretation. So it can be concluded that the higher the bullying behavior, the lower the level of resilience of adolescents. It is expected that adolescentss are able to use resilience as adaptive coping to prevent bullying behavior.
