Abstract: In today's digital era, social media platforms have become essential tools for communication and self-expression. However, alongside their benefits, they also serve as channels for negative interactions, particularly cyberbullying, which poses serious threats to user well-being especially among youth. This paper presents the development of a social media platform where users can register, log in, create posts, and engage in private messaging. The core feature of the system focuses on enhancing online safety by implementing cyberbullying detection in the comment sections under posts.
