Cyberbullying Ancaman Mental Siswa di Era Digital

Abstract

Cyberbullying or digital bullying has become a significant social issue in Indonesia, especially among teenagers. This phenomenon has developed alongside the rapid use of technology and social media. The aim of this research is to explore the impact of cyberbullying on the mental health of adolescents in Indonesia. This research uses a quantitative method with a survey approach, involving 100 students from several major cities in Indonesia. The research results show that around 40% of students experience cyberbullying, which directly impacts mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. This research also highlights the importance of the roles of parents, schools, and the government in reducing cases of cyberbullying and providing appropriate psychological support for the victims. Furthermore, a more in-depth analysis of the factors leading to cyberbullying behavior was obtained as an effective way to prevent and address the phenomenon of cyberbullying in the school environment.
