This study aims to analyze the factors causing bullying behavior among high school students in Garut Regency. Bullying has become a serious problem in educational environments because it negatively affects students’ psychological, emotional, and social development. This research used a quantitative approach with the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) method. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 85 high school students in Garut Regency using purposive sampling techniques. Data analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics version 23. The results showed that bullying behavior among students was influenced by four main factors, namely school and media factors, social experience and peer interaction factors, family and aggressiveness factors, and social interaction and empathy factors. The most dominant factor was school and media factors with an eigenvalue of 4.895 and a variance contribution of 37.651%. Weak school supervision, uncontrolled social media exposure, cyberbullying, negative peer interaction, family conflict, and low emotional control were identified as the primary causes of bullying behavior. This study concludes that bullying is influenced by both internal and external factors related to students’ social environments. Therefore, schools, parents, and government institutions are expected to strengthen anti-bullying policies, improve supervision, and create a safe and supportive educational environment to reduce bullying cases among high school students in Garut Regency.
