Abstract: The study aimed to identify the level of cyber bullying and digital practices in the light of some variables, and to know the relationship between digital practices and cyber bullying in the northern border region. The study sample consisted of (368) male and female secondary school students. The results showed that the level of cyber bullying was medium, while the level of digital practices came to a great extent. There were statistically significant differences in the level of both cyber bullying and digital practices due to the gender variable in favor of males and to the course variable for the course of natural sciences. The results showed a statistically significant negative relationship between cyber bullying and positively digital practices, and a statistically significant positive relationship between cyber bullying and negative digital practices, and those negative digital practices predict cyber bullying.
