Abstract :

This study analyzes the causal factors of verbal bullying and its impact on chronic stress among upper secondary school students. The research was conducted using documentary research methods, synthesizing data from academic articles and reports from relevant organizations, including UNICEF, the World Health Organization (WHO), and the Department of Mental Health.The findings indicate that the causes of verbal bullying fall into three main areas: 1) Individual factors, such as deficits in emotional regulation and impulse control; 2) Social factors, including peer pressure and school cultural norms; and 3) Digital factors, stemming from inappropriate communication on social media platforms. Verbal bullying directly affects the mental well-being of victims, leading to chronic stress, anxiety, and diminished self-esteem, which can escalate into long-term depression. Therefore, addressing verbal bullying requires collaboration among schools, families, and online communities to foster a safe environment for students.
