Regional economic development needs to be planned and the benchmark is economic growth. Development in developing countries still prioritizes unemployment and poverty. Development in Indonesia to date still focuses on efforts to reduce the unemployment rate or open up job opportunities to reduce poverty. The level of poverty can be measured through the HDI (Human Development Index) which has three main indicators, namely health indicators, education level and economic indicators. There are many factors that hinder the development of an area, one of which is the high poverty rate. The problems of unemployment and poverty are still major issues that never end. Sidoarjo Regency has a decreasing number of poor people starting from 2021 at 137 people, in 2022 at 125 people and in 2023 at 119 people from a population of 2,238,069 people in 2021, 2,266,533 people in 2022, 1,996,825 people in 2023. The causes of poverty are the large number of children who have dropped out of school, limited public services (schools) which are difficult to reach, difficulty in getting health costs and the difficulty of people getting the necessities of life such as clothing, food and shelter. The aim of making a Study on the Role of the Health Index, Education Index and Purchasing Power Index on the Poverty Level of Sidoarjo Regency for 2010-2023, is to see the contribution of these three indices to changes in poverty levels in Sidoarjo Regency, both directly and indirectly, which will have an impact on change in poverty (number of poor people).

Mixed marriages and people of different religions cause differences in values ​​and beliefs which give rise to domestic conflicts, especially regarding childcare. This research aims to determine the influence, obstacles, roles and efforts to develop the appreciation of Catholic faith and traditions. This marriage can increase understanding and tolerance towards other religions. However, if tolerance does not occur, conflict will emerge. Religious conflict creates tension in families and even leads to divorce. So efforts are needed to maintain family integrity and children's faith education. The type of research used is qualitative research with a descriptive approach. Information was obtained by in-depth interviews, observation and documentation. From the results, it was found that Catholics maintained their faith and educated their children Catholicically with all their might. Efforts are visible in the testimony of faith when parents become examples and witnesses of faith in everyday life, whether at school, work, or social relationships, by practicing Catholic values ​​in actions and words. Because it is considered dangerous, young people are advised not to choose to enter into mixed marriages or interfaith marriages because they are considered risky and endanger the Catholic faith, affecting the appreciation of the faith and the development of children's Catholic traditions in the family. Efforts to reduce this marriage are by being actively involved in activities in the Church, strengthening one's faith through prayer, practicing the praxis of Catholic life, believing that one's life partner is someone from God.

Meanwhile, the result of bullying for children's mental health is that victims of bullying tend to be alone because they feel the most guilty among others, victims have decreased self-confidence, reduced enthusiasm for life so they prefer to be moody and not anxious. For some people their emotions are getting more and more uncontrollable so that it results in a feeling of revenge in the victim's heart and makes them want to do what they have experienced against other people.
