Abstract
Background: Suicide is a leading cause of death in the United States, and cyberbullying is often a major reason behind it. Understanding how these two are connected is important for finding ways to help. This chapter will look at how cyberbullying leads to suicide, who is most at risk, and what can be done to prevent it. Objective: The main objective of this research is to synthesize the evidence on the effectiveness of intervention programs for reducing suicidal thoughts and behaviors in adolescents, especially LGBTQ+ adolescents, who have experienced cyberbullying. Method: In this systematic review, we plan to extract information regarding the specific elements of the interventions used in the studies. This will help us determine if interventions that target the improvement of social support, the acquisition of coping skills, and the improvement of self-esteem are more effective in reducing suicidal behavior and ideation among adolescents victimized by cyberbullying.
