Cyberbullying among adolescents is a pressing issue exacerbated by the widespread use of digital technologies. It often manifests through verbal or relational aggression via social networks and messaging platforms, significantly impacting the emotional well-being of young people. This study aims to explore the nature of cyberbullying among adolescents, focusing on gender differences and variations in academic performance. Conducted with a sample of 109 high school students in Ćuprija, the research utilized a structured questionnaire to investigate the prevalence and forms of cyberbullying and its correlation with academic success. Findings reveal that while gender does not significantly affect the frequency of cyberbullying, female adolescents experience specific forms of cyber violence more frequently, such as receiving inappropriate messages. Additionally, academic performance did not show a significant correlation with the likelihood of committing cyberbullying. The study highlights the need for targeted interventions and improved digital literacy education to address these issues effectively.
