A relational model was used in the research. The sample of the study consists of 476 middle school students between the ages of 10-13. "Digital Literacy Scale," "Social Media Usage Purposes Scale," and "Cyberbullying Threat Level Scale" were used to obtain the data. t-test (Mann Whitney U), ANOVA (Kruskal Wallis), and correlation analysis were used in the study. The findings showed that students' digital literacy and the use of social media for interpersonal interaction and lesson preparation were moderate and their witnessing, exhibiting, and exposure to cyberbullying was very low. Finally, there were moderate positive relationships between middle school students' digital literacy levels and social media usage for interpersonal interaction and lesson preparation purposes.
