Abstract: With the surge of the Internet era, the widespread use of the Internet by minors has become an unstoppable and irreversible trend. In today's era of high-speed information flow, the Internet is like a sharp double-edged sword. On the one hand, it brings unprecedented convenience to minors with amazing speed and extremely wide coverage. They can easily obtain rich knowledge resources through the Internet and broaden their horizons. On the other hand, while the Internet brings many conveniences, it also induces various types of network infringement. Among them, cyberbullying is an extremely serious public health problem, and the depth of its harm may lead to a sharp increase in the risk of mental health problems. This risk may lead to a series of serious consequences, including long-term psychological problems and adverse effects on the development of adolescents, and in extreme cases, it may even push them to a desperate situation of suicide. This article is intended to deeply explore the multi-faceted impact of cyberbullying on the real life of teenagers, to attract great attention from all walks of life, and to jointly create a safe and healthy network environment for teenagers.
