Abstract: This document serves as a model and guide for understanding the connection between cyberbullying and mental health. With the rise of the digital age, our communication methods have transformed dramatically, but this shift has also brought about a troubling side: cyberbullying. This abstract aims to give a thorough overview of the complex relationship between cyberbullying and mental health, highlighting the serious implications for individuals in today’s world. Cyberbullying, which involves aggressive behavior carried out through electronic devices and online platforms, has gained significant attention due to its alarming frequency and devastating effects. It includes various harmful actions, such as harassment, threats, humiliation, and the sharing of damaging content, all taking place in a virtual environment. As digital technologies and social media have become more widespread, this issue has become increasingly common, especially among teenagers and young adults. Research indicates that the effects of cyberbullying on mental health are considerable. Victims often face a range of psychological and emotional challenges, including anxiety, depression, low selfesteem, and feelings of isolation. The relentless and intrusive nature of cyberbullying can undermine a person’s sense of safety and well-being, leading to lasting psychological damage.
