Аннотация

Cyberbullying has emerged as a significant issue in the digital age, posing severe risks to adolescent mental health. Unlike traditional bullying, which occurs in physical or face-to-face environments, cyberbullying leverages digital platforms to harass or intimidate individuals, making it more pervasive and relentless. The continuous and often public nature of cyberbullying can exacerbate emotional distress and lead to profound psychological harm. Despite its increasing prevalence, cyberbullying remains relatively under-studied by psychologists, largely because digital communication is a recent phenomenon, emerging only in the last few decades. Consequently, there is a significant gap in research regarding the psychological impacts of cyberbullying, highlighting the need for more comprehensive studies in this area. This study aims to investigate the relationship between cyberbullying and self-harm among adolescents, emphasizing the urgent need for targeted intervention and prevention strategies. Utilizing a case study methodology, the research offers an in-depth examination of how cyberbullying can lead to self-harm. The article provides a detailed analysis of the complex interactions between digital harassment and maladaptive coping mechanisms. The findings underscore the significant impact of cyberbullying on mental health, illustrating that the severe emotional distress caused by cyberbullying can lead to self-harm. This study provides new insights into the specific ways cyberbullying contributes to self-harm and emphasizes the necessity for effective intervention strategies to support adolescents and mitigate the harmful effects of digital harassment.
