Down syndrome is a genetic disorder that is present since birth, understanding and acceptance of children with Down syndrome in one of the villages of Wonosari Aceh Tamiang is a problem that is quite interesting for researchers because with the presence of children with Down syndrome there is bullying behavior such as avoiding, avoiding, isolating, or mocking children with Down syndrome. The purpose of this study is to determine the causes of bullying behavior towards children with Down syndrome. The method used in this study is a qualitative method using a descriptive approach. In collecting data, this study used observation, interview, and documentation techniques. The results of this study indicate that the existence of bullying behavior both verbally and non-verbally carried out by the surrounding community can be seen from its habitus as in the theory of social practice by Pier Bourdieu, the existence of community habitus, capital as a support, and arena as a supporter, then the occurrence of social bullying practices. The social practice of bullying against children with Down syndrome is due to the habitus or habits of society that do not fully understand children with special needs or norms that do not support diversity, namely the differences that exist in each individual, limited education that causes a lack of public understanding of children with Down syndrome, giving rise to discriminatory attitudes, the stigma of children who have deficiencies such as Down syndrome which is considered easy to be used as material for bullying behavior in society. Bullying is more likely to occur in the homes of residents who are close to children with Down syndrome compared to residents who are far from children with Down syndrome. Suggestions that can be given to the village are a public awareness campaign program to understand and reduce the stigma against children with Down syndrome.
