Abstract
With the rapid development of information and technology, countries, institutions, and individuals have been vulnerable to cyber threats and cyberbullying. It is known that cyberbullying is widespread especially among young people. In this direction, it is emphasized that students should be provided with training, guidance, and seminars on cyberbullying. In addition to the prevention of cyberbullying and cyber awareness studies, there is also a need for studies to reduce the negative effects and harms caused by exposure to cyberbullying and to provide moral support.
