This study aims to examine the relationship between social support and post-traumatic growth among early adult victims of bullying. The research used a quantitative method with a correlational design, involving participants aged 18-25 who had experienced bullying. The results showed a significant positive relationship between social support and post-traumatic growth (r = 0.992, p = 0.000). This study emphasizes the importance of social support in helping bullying victims overcome traumatic experiences and find new meaning in their lives. The study involved 104 participants, with demographic details showing a balanced gender distribution and age range. Instruments used were validated scales for post-traumatic growth and social support, with high reliability (Cronbach's alpha > 0.93). Data analysis confirmed normality and linearity, supporting the correlational findings. Implications include practical recommendations for victims to seek social support and for practitioners to develop interventions. Limitations include the cross-sectional design and potential self-report biases. Future research could incorporate qualitative methods or longitudinal studies to deepen understanding. Overall, the study contributes to psychological literature on trauma recovery in early adulthood
