Abstract: The rise of digital communication has led to an increasing prevalence of cyberbullying, significantly affecting individuals’ psychological, emotional, and social well-being. This study examines the lived experiences of individuals of six students from three different international secondary schools in Petaling Jaya Selangor who have been subjected to cyberbullying, emphasizing its impact on mental health conditions. Through a qualitative research approach, personal accounts are analyzed to identify recurring patterns and emotional responses of participants from cyberbullying. The findings reveal that cyberbullying contributes to heightened stress, anxiety, and social withdrawal, underscoring the necessity for comprehensive intervention measures. This research provides valuable insights for educators and mental health practitioners in developing effective prevention and support mechanisms to address cyberbullying in the digital landscape.
