<![CDATA[Abstract: In today’s digital age, social media has become a primary medium for social interactions, particularly among teenagers. While digital advancements bring various advantages, they also introduce challenges, such as the growing issue of cyberbullying, a harmful online behavior impacting teens' mental health and social relationships. This study focuses on developing an educational animation aimed at raising awareness about the effects and prevention of cyberbullying by employing the Multimedia Development Life Cycle (MDLC) approach. The MDLC method provides a structured, step-by-step process for creating multimedia-based animations, involving concept, design, material collection, assembly, testing, and distribution stages. Assets were created in Adobe Illustrator, while animation development used Adobe Animate to effectively communicate cyberbullying risks and preventive strategies to teenagers. Distributed through social media to assess audience feedback, the animation received initial positive responses, indicating an increased understanding of cyberbullying prevention. This study serves as a useful basis for further research into digital media’s role as a preventive tool against cyberbullying among youth.Keywords: cyberbullying; animation; multimedia development life cycle Abstrak: Di era digital saat ini, media sosial telah menjadi media utama untuk interaksi sosial, terutama di kalangan remaja. Sementara kemajuan digital membawa berbagai keuntungan, mereka juga menimbulkan tantangan, seperti masalah cyberbullying yang berkembang, perilaku online berbahaya yang memengaruhi kesehatan mental dan hubungan sosial remaja. Penelitian ini berfokus pada pengembangan animasi edukasi yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kesadaran tentang efek dan pencegahan cyberbullying dengan menggunakan pendekatan Multimedia Development Life Cycle (MDLC). Metode MDLC menyediakan proses langkah demi langkah yang terstruktur untuk membuat animasi berbasis multimedia, yang melibatkan konsep, desain, pengumpulan material, perakitan, pengujian, dan tahap distribusi. Aset dibuat di Adobe Illustrator, sedangkan pengembangan animasi menggunakan Adobe Animate untuk mengomunikasikan risiko cyberbullying dan strategi pencegahan secara efektif kepada remaja. Didistribusikan melalui media sosial untuk menilai umpan balik audiens, animasi tersebut menerima tanggapan positif awal, yang menunjukkan peningkatan pemahaman tentang pencegahan cyberbullying. Penelitian ini menjadi dasar yang berguna untuk penelitian lebih lanjut tentang peran media digital sebagai alat pencegahan terhadap cyberbullying di kalangan remaja.Kata kunci: cyberbullying; animasi; multimedia developmet life cycle]]>
