Abstract: 
Investigating the effects of the traumatic experiences that adolescents with learning problems go through is the goal of our study. 160 high school students who were referred via a web-based evaluation form because of poor academic performance made up the sample for our study. In particular, the subscales for anxiety-depression and depression-withdrawal were employed in the ACHENBACH self-report questionnaire for children and teenagers. Calculations have been made for frequencies, response percentages, and means. Additionally, a one-way anova was used to conduct an analysis of variance to compare the average student responses to the variable "experiencing a traumatic event" between groups of students. The findings demonstrated that there are substantial variations in the means of students who claim having experienced a traumatic event and those who report not having, with a statistical significance threshold of p 0,01 between the two groups. Students' exposure to violence in schools and the loss of a loved one appear to be particularly significant traumatic experiences for their psyche. Additionally, a quick presentation of the application's cyberbullying-related capabilities is made.
