This research examined the transformation experiences of junior high school students in the Surallah Central District, Division of South Cotabato, who were formerly involved in bullying. The purpose of the study was to explore the underlying reasons for their bullying behaviors and the lessons they learned throughout their journey of change. Eight (8) junior high school students who had transformed participated in the study. Data were collected using a qualitative, phenomenological approach. Findings revealed that the participants initially engaged in bullying as a way to seek attention and validation through intimidation. With the help of guidance, mentorship, and opportunities for positive involvement, they eventually developed a sense of accountability and changed their behaviors. Their transformation was greatly influenced by empathy, counseling, and the support of their social environment. The results highlight the need to address the root causes of bullying, nurture empathy, and create a supportive school atmosphere that encourages personal growth. These insights can aid in crafting more effective intervention programs and in promoting a school culture built on compassion and understanding.
