## Abstract

Cyberbullying is prevalent among adolescents. This often occurs through online harassment on social media. Therefore, it is of
interest to assess the impact of cognizance sessions on adolescents' awareness and its coping strategies. Hence, 160 adolescents were
divided into experimental and control groups using a quasi-experimental design. Results indicated significant improvements in the
experimental group's awareness and coping scores after educational sessions. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of such
interventions, emphasizing the need for further research with larger samples.
