DAMPAK PERUNDUNGAN ANAK YANG MEMILIKI SAUDARA KANDUNG (SIBLING) DISABILITAS GANDA

This article is a research focusing on bullying experienced by siblings as a result of having family members with multiple disabilities. This research is a case study of siblings whose family members attend SLBG (Special School for Multiple Disabilities) Rawinala East Jakarta. Bullying does not only encounter people with disabilities, but also their siblings. The limitations possessed by people with multiple disabilities are often concerned and treated differently by family members and the community. Living together with people who have double disabilities as siblings is a challenge that creates particular vulnerability among siblings themselves. This vulnerability is influenced by how parents and the surroundings understand children with disabilities and their siblings. Having siblings with multiple disabilities could cause bullying. The purpose of this research is to identify forms of bullying received by teenagers who have siblings with multiple  disabilities along with the impact of the bullies . This qualitative research is descriptive study in which the informants are selected by using purposive sampling. Data collection techniques used for this research involved observation, interview, FGD, and documentation. The data processing is conducted in several stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion and data verification. The results of this study indicate that teenagers who experience bullying  have certain acceptance reactions towards their siblings with disabilities. This condition causes siblings with disabilities feel ashamed, unconfident, thus it impacts their relationship with both  their aforementioned siblings with multiple disabilities and the community. Supports from family and the surroundings are urgently needed to overcome the impact of bullying.
