Abstract

Indonesia is a multicultural country with various ethnicities, religions, teachings, and various understandings so that it has the opportunity to open up opportunities for various understandings to influence. In this age of development, bullying often occurs in various aspects, ranging from verbal, cyber, and verbal. This often happens to children and adolescents where they often indirectly bully their peers which makes the victims sometimes feel uncomfortable. The perpetrators of bullying sometimes forget the aspects of diversity and eliminate diversity. Bullying that occurs quite often is racial bullying, it becomes their mockery because it is considered a mere joke even though it can hurt someone's heart, this can have an impact on his daily life because he feels that he is less perfect than other races and tribes. The provision of multicultural services is considered quite important to be given to help in the formation of children's personalities. Therefore, this research was conducted using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) method. Therefore this study can show that the use of multicultural counseling in reducing interracial bullying can disappear and can foster a child's civilized attitude towards misunderstanding differences.
