“…The globally adopted use of social media in the 21st century has consequently created widespread cyberbullying and an unprecedented atmosphere of social comparison that can decrease well-being through worsened mood and self-evaluation (Gao et al, 2022; Verduyn et al, 2020).

Adolescent competence and resilience are indicators of adulthood behavior. High school is a pivotal time for adolescents to foster a stable temperament for adult development. The contemporary state of adolescent depression prevalence and an increase in social media-related risky behavior calls for an update to mental health services. We review the nature of modern social comparison that is fueled by social media, mental health help-seeking stigma that prevents individuals from seeking services, and provide mental health advances to remedy the severity of mental health concerns in a social media society. Social media distortions of normative life promote a standard of expectations that can decrease self-esteem and increase depressive tendencies. Expanding high school counseling such that students see a counselor multiple times a year in a proactive rather than reactive school counseling system can provide transformative changes to community mental health.

“…The correlation between cyberbullying and behavioural difficulties, social functioning, and psychological health (Hasan et al, 2023;Wright & Wachs, 2022) piques the curiosity of researchers, parents, educators, and the general public. Several studies have demonstrated that cyberbullying is significantly associated with distress (Fabris et al, 2022), loneliness or social isolation (Fang et al, 2022), low self-esteem (Gao et al, 2022) negative self-cognition (Li et al, 2022a), sleeping difficulties (Liu et al, 2021a), hopelessness (McField, Lawrence, & Okoli, 2023), maladaptive emotion regulation (Faura-Garcia et al, 2021), negative social comparison (Villanueva-Moya et al, 2022), resulting in severe consequences, particularly for the victims, including stress, anxiety, and depression (Alhujailli et al, 2020;Martínez-Monteagudo et al, 2020).…”

Background: Cyberbullying is a distinct phenomenon characterised by the rapid dissemination of information, the permanence of content, and the availability of victims. Yet, there is a scarcity of studies in this field, and few studies have looked at the elements that contribute to cyberbullying behaviour. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship of cyberbullying with loneliness and well-being through psychological distress among adolescents in Malaysia. Methods: 386 teenagers with ages ranging from 12 to 18 were chosen using multistage cluster random sampling. To analyse the data, structural equation modeling was applied. Results: According to the study, cyberbullying has a positive relationship with psychological discomfort but a negative relationship with loneliness and general well-being. Additionally, psychological distress (depression, anxiety, and stress) mediates the relationship between cyberbullying and feelings of wellbeing and loneliness. Conclusions: The results ought to spark discussion about potential treatments to enhance teenage wellbeing and prevent emotional and mental health issues caused by social isolation.
