Cyberbullying affects age groups differently. Children may feel scared or anxious, teens often experience social pressure and self-esteem issues, and adults can face stress, reputational harm, or emotional exhaustion. The impact varies with age, coping skills, and support systems.

Cyberbullying affects all age groups, but teens are usually hit the hardest. Younger users are still developing confidence, so online harassment can deeply impact self-esteem and mental health. Adults are affected too, but they often have stronger coping skills, while teens are more emotionally vulnerable and socially influenced.
