Accordingly, the researcher recommends that future studies target victims of cyberbullying across different educational stages in Saudi Arabia. Third, investigate cyberbullies themselves or their online behaviors in terms of their characteristics and the factors that drive them to engage in cyberbullying. Therefore, future studies could include cyberbullies and school personnel, such as teachers, school counselors, and parents, to gain a better understanding of those perpetrating cyberbullying. Finally, the researcher believes that future studies could benefit from incorporating a complementary secondary research instrument that analyses instances of cyberbullying experienced by participants. the current study did not Acknowledgements: The author acknowledges and appreciates the school students who participated and shared their experiences, views, and thoughts on the effects of cyberbullying in Saudi Arabian secondary schools.
