Patterns on school bullying intervention included survey, identification of the cause, punishment, counseling, connecting friends, consultation, sympathy, balancing, and providing a sense of security. Attitude toward bullying intervention included a sense of reponsibility, skepticism about the intervention, and avoidance. Negative feeling toward bullying intervention included guilty and frustration. Intervention's difficulty included misunderstanding, side-effects of instructions, lack of confession, difficulty in gripping the situation, difficulty toward parents' interference, complicated situations, and limitation of teachers’ ability, systemic problems, ineffective programs, and deficiency of connection. Need of support for school bullying intervention included needs for professional support, teachers' education, and systemic programs. Suggestion for future program on bullying intervention included continuation, specialization, and programs for the students, teachers, school, parents, and the community.
