Abstract

This research paper aims at evaluating how cyberbullying on Facebook affects the mental health of the Egyptian youth. A serious problem, cyberbullying has a significant negative effect on young people. Many people are victims of cyberbullying since Facebook is a platform where many strangers congregate to make friends while also being vulnerable to the existence of undesirable ones. It can take on a variety of forms. It could include the publication of insulting remarks, threatening language, and tension sparked by offensive media. (Patchin, 2019)
Young people react very emotionally to what they see on Facebook, which may have a negative impact on their emotions and cause psychological harm, which is a barrier to personality development. The scope of the influence is very broad because online posts can be forwarded indefinitely. The person may not be able to escape the bad impacts of the post as a result. They are unable to escape since the abuse occurs in their private space, like their bedroom. Cyberbullying can cause considerable harm and has numerous negative consequences on young people's psyche. In order to identify the finest safeguards for our sons and daughters, we are attempting to understand how much it influences youth. (Glazzard, 2019)
