Abstract

Cyberbullying can occur in all circles, especially among teenagers, as it often starts as a joke but continues and becomes behavior that is considered normal by the perpetrator. However, if left unchecked, it can impact on the psychological well-being of the teenage victims. The negative impact expressed in negative emotions such as stress, sadness, anger, frustration, shame, loneliness, fear, depression, a desire for revenge, and thoughts of suicide. Therefore, efforts are needed to address the impact of cyberbullying by enhancing adolescents' competencies through self-acceptance, which is a protective factor needed by adolescents.
