The growing use of digital technologies among adolescents has raised concerns about their awareness of cyber security and digital etiquette. This study examines the impact of age on cyber security awareness and digital etiquette among adolescent girls aged 15–20 years. A total of 120 students from intermediate and undergraduate courses in government colleges in Nellore district were selected through random sampling. A structured questionnaire was used to assess their awareness. The findings indicate that older adolescents (18–20 years) show higher levels of cyber security awareness compared to middle adolescents ones (15–17 years). The study highlights the importance of age-appropriate digital literacy programs in educational institutions.
