The Influence of Verbal Violence on Adolescent Mental Health in School Environments

Abstract

Verbal abuse is a type of violence that is often overlooked, but it can have serious consequences for adolescents' mental health. This type of abuse includes insults, teasing, or demeaning comments that can lead to loss of self-confidence, anxiety, and even depression. This Community Service Program (PKM) conducted by Pamulang University students aims to explore the impact of verbal abuse. It is hoped that the results of this program will provide insights for schools, families, and even the community to be more sensitive and help prevent verbal abuse among adolescents.
