    Cyberbullying, a form of cyber violence carried out through digital technologies, poses significant threats to psychological and emotional well-being, especially among children and adolescents. This chapter explores the various types of cyber violence, including harassment, doxxing, cyberstalking, defamation, online blackmail, trolling, flaming, and grooming, highlighting their pervasive nature and the difficulty in addressing them. The rapid digitalization of society and the increased use of social media and online communication platforms have exacerbated the prevalence of cyberbullying, creating complex challenges for prevention and intervention. The chapter also examines the psychological and social impacts on victims, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, social isolation, and in severe cases, suicidal tendencies. Furthermore, it discusses the role of digital literacy, legal frameworks, and educational strategies in combating cyberbullying, emphasizing the need for comprehensive and adaptive approaches to protect individuals in the digital age. The chapter concludes by calling for continued research, policy development, and collaborative efforts to create safer online environments.
