Abstract

This study analyzed the relationship between adolescent social media use and bullying behavior among high school students in Bogor City. Data was collected from 100 respondents with an age range of 17-19 years, consisting of 57% women and 43% men. The results of the analysis showed a significant relationship between adolescent characteristics and communication with peers (β = 3.225), as well as a relationship between adolescent characteristics and social media use (β = 1.835). In addition, a relationship was also found between adolescent characteristics and bullying behavior (β = 0.780). These results underscore the importance of paying attention to factors such as adolescent characteristics and interactions with social media in understanding bullying behavior among adolescents. The practical implications of these findings highlight the need for a holistic approach to the prevention and control of bullying behaviour that includes parental supervision as well as a better understanding of adolescent social media use. In conclusion, social media has a significant role in the formation of adolescent attitudes regarding bullying, family communication contributes to the occurrence of bullying behavior in adolescents.
