Aim: Adolescence is a critical period in which individuals develop social skills and emotional awareness, and family structure plays an important role in this process. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between adolescents' perceptions of healthy families and their empathy levels towards individuals who are bullied. Methods: The study was descriptive and cross-sectional. In the study, using a convenience sampling method, 325 adolescents between the ages of 15-19 living in Gaziantep were reached online. Data were gathered using a sociodemographic information form, the Healthy Family Scale, and the Empathy Toward the Victim of Peer Bullying Scale. Descriptive statistics, comparison analyses between variables and scales, and tests of association between scales were used to analyze the data. The significance level was 95% confidence interval. Results: The study was descriptive and cross-sectional. In the study, using a convenience sampling method, 325 adolescents between the ages of 15-19 living in Gaziantep were reached online. Data were gathered using a sociodemographic information form, the Healthy Family Scale, and the Empathy Toward the Victim of Peer Bullying Scale. Descriptive statistics, comparison analyses between variables and scales, and tests of association between scales were used to analyze the data. Conclusion: The findings show that healthy family functioning positively affects the empathic tendencies of adolescents. Especially mothers' education level and supportive communication within the family are determining factors in empathy development. In addition, the number of children in the family is one of the important variables affecting the level of empathy. The study highlights the importance of family-based intervention and support programs by emphasizing the impact of family structure on psychosocial development. As a result, it is recommended to develop interventions to strengthen family communication and support parents to increase the empathy levels of adolescents.
