With the popularization of social media and instant messaging tools, the speed and scope of information dissemination have increased significantly, which provides more opportunities for cyberbullying. This study analyzes and investigates the digital media communication characteristics of cyberbullying among young people and family factors. A random sampling method was used to recruit participants in the study. Data analysis tools are statistical software and programming languages commonly used for data analysis in social science research. This study builds on existing research to more comprehensively examine the relationship between cyberbullying and young people in China. The results show that there is also a significant difference between academic performance and cyberbullying among college students from different family backgrounds (F = 3.81, p<0.05). The overall trend is that as college students' academic performance decreases, students' cyberbullying behaviors become more serious. College students in single-parent families felt parental monitoring much stronger than in two-parent families. The difference between college students' parents' literacy level and the overall level of parental monitoring was significant, and the overall trend was that the higher the literacy level of college student's parents, the higher the level of parental monitoring of their children. This is shown by the significant difference between the father's literacy (F = 4.66, p<0.001) and the mother's literacy (F = 5.83, p<0.001) on the overall level of parental monitoring © (2023), (Elite Scientific Publications).
