ABSTRACT In the modern digital era, cyberbullying has risen as a serious social problem, with adolescents and young adults being the most vulnerable groups. Unlike traditional forms of bullying, it takes place in virtual spaces—such as social networking sites, chat applications, and online communities—where individuals may be subjected to insults, threats, or embarrassing content intended to cause harm. This study examines the prevalence, forms, and consequences of cyberbullying, with a focus on its psychological, emotional, and social impact on youth. Using a sample of 100 respondents, the study applies both quantitative and qualitative methods to analyze patterns of victimization and coping strategies. Findings highlight that cyberbullying not only causes emotional distress but also weakens social relationships and academic performance. The research stresses the importance of awareness, parental guidance, and institutional interventions to combat this growing issue.
