    This study has sought to identify and understand the role of family practices in arming their daughters with strategies to cope with cyberstalking. It had also sought to identify the types of strategies used by them, forms of cyberstalking and its seriousness as well as its psychological effect on victims of cyberstalking. To these ends, the researcher has conducted this study on 30 randomly chosen young women aged 18-22. The participants all were living in Nablus, Palestine. The researcher has used the qualitative descriptive explanatory method. After data collection and analysis, the researcher has found that the most common strategy used by the young women to confront cyberstalking was blockage of user. She also found that most of the words used were sexual and physical in nature. There were also other forms of cyberstalking such as visual and vocal. This was in addition to sending video clips and sexual information. The researcher also found that most of the victims of cyberstalking had experienced severe mental health problems. In the light of these findings, the researcher recommends holding workshops for young women’s parents and custodians on how to educate them and protect themselves from social media platforms. She also suggests that institutions such as telecoms and Facebook ban such messages and archive them immediately once they are sent to a person or electronic party. Furthermore, legal institutions have to introduce severe penalties against cyberstalkers. Finally, psychological counseling programs have to be set up for young women and then to be distributed among school and university educational counselors.
