Abstract: Depression and anxiety are the most common mental health disorders among adolescents and are the leading causes of suffering in this age group. The increasing use of social media among adolescents also raises the risk of cyberbullying victimization that is, the experience of being repeatedly subjected to aggressive acts via digital media. This study aims to determine the relationship between cyberbullying victimization and symptoms of depression and anxiety among students at SMAN X in 2026. The study employed a cross-sectional design with a sample of 196 respondents selected using proportional stratified random sampling. The variable of cyberbullying victimization was measured using the Cyberbullying Victimization Scale (Patchin and Hinduja), which had been adapted into Indonesian, while symptoms of depression and anxiety were measured using the Mini MindHEAR Youth Scale (MMYS V.1) screening instrument. Data analysis was conducted using univariate and bivariate analyses with the chi-square test. The results showed that 95 respondents (48.5%) had a high level of cyberbullying victimization. There was a significant association between cyberbullying victimization and symptoms of anxiety (p=0.002; OR = 2.54; 95% CI: 1.41–4.58) and symptoms of depression (p=0.004; OR = 2.29; 95% CI: 1,29–4,05). Students who are victims of cyberbullying are more likely to experience symptoms of anxiety and depression than those who are not victims. Schools are advised to strengthen cyberbullying prevention programs through digital literacy education and by reinforcing the role of guidance counselors in the early detection of students’ mental health disorders.
