Summary/Abstract: Cases of bullying in schools are still a major problem in many countries and must be resolved immediately because they are closely related to student morale. So far, schools are still focused on strategies to overcome bullying, but have not focused on exploring the right measurement model to identify bullying. This study aims to identify bullying systematically in schools. This is a quantitative research using principal component analysis (PCA). The questionnaire was developed based on the findings of previous studies. Internal factors and consistency were examined by involving 96 students from senior high schools in Indonesia. This study concludes that the model for measuring bullying in schools is measured by four indicators, namely setting, bullies, reasons for bullying and forms of bullying. This measurement model is measured by a total of 21 items that have been tested through PCA.
