Abstract	Bullying remains a prevalent issue within schools worldwide, with severe emotional and psychological consequences for victims. This study examines the role of creative writing as a coping mechanism for students affected by bullying, aiming to explore its therapeutic potential in emotional healing, resilience-building, and personal empowerment. Through qualitative research, ten Grade 11 students who had experienced various forms of bullying participated in semi-structured interviews and provided writing samples to investigate how creative writing could aid in processing trauma and rebuilding self-worth. The findings reveal that creative writing helped students reclaim their voice, process their emotions, and find a safe space for self-expression, ultimately fostering emotional resilience and contributing to peace education objectives. This study emphasizes the significance of integrating creative writing into anti-bullying and peace education programs to help students cope with the aftermath of bullying.
