With the advent of internet technology in the present digital world, cyberbullying has become a significant issue. It is becoming more prevalent as college students spend more time using technological devices. Cyberbullying is the misuse of technology with the intention to harass and harm others. Various social, cultural, personal, and other factors are responsible for the victimization of college students. The main objective of this paper is to highlight the various psychosocial risk factors of cyberbullying victimization among college students. Social factors include the socialization process, family and school environment, relationship with family members, peer groups and friends, social support from family and friends, attitude, values, beliefs, expectations, customs and traditions, food habits, and dressing sense. Moreover, cyberbullied students are more likely to experience worry and substance addiction. Many cyberbullying victims will become upset about what is happening to them. Some child victims may even plan their retaliation and act in vengeance. This tactic is dangerous not just because of the potential issues they may encounter but also because it could perpetuate the bully-victim cycle. Cyberbullying victims may suffer from anxiety, sadness, and other stress-related problems. The extra strain of frequently dealing with cyberbullying may steal their feelings of happiness and satisfaction. Additionally, it may worsen isolation and concern sensations. Peer victimization via technology is on the rise, and it is linked to a risk of psychological maladjustment. Research indicates pupils who use their phones regularly are more likely to bully others. Consequently, a better understanding of the consequences of cyberbullying behavior may help medical professionals identify at-risk youth and provide them with the support they require. Everyone must carefully double-check the information they get on social media and not follow it blindly.
