1. This article was written based on a study of cyber bullying behaviors in a large group of middle and high school students. Increases in technology, and access to that technology have increased student ability to bully using an online forum. Not a lot of research had been done into this subject at the time of this article. Taking this into consideration there had been a few large scale studies done that corroborated the belief that cyber bullying is a significant problem. Researchers believed that due to the potential for exposure to this type of bullying, more studies needed to be done. With increased research there was the hope of diminishing the number of incidents of cyber bullying and the effects of those incidents. The research that had been completed also pointed to additional issues, including behavior problems, suspensions, substance abuse and depression among students who had experienced cyber bullying. The other side of previous research showed that the students who used cyber bullying as a weapon were more aggressive in their behaviors.

As I entered high school, the prevalence of cyberbullying hit me like a ton of bricks. Over the years, as smartphones became more advanced, there was a shift from verbal and physical bullying to cyber

This research shows that cyberbullying is at an all-time high over the past few years. The purpose of this report was to gain knowledge for personally and professionally for the future as well as to use for reporting. With the rise of children and teenagers getting cell phones, tablets, and even computers at such a young age the rise will only continue to go up if we cannot stop it now. Young girls are at a higher risk than young men to be bullied but young men are higher for being bullies. Every one in three teens have been the victims of cyber bullying and only one in five are reported to parents or law enforcement. If there was something that could be done to stop cyberbullying

The purpose of this article is to enlighten teachers, school administrators, and school counsellors about this new technological danger, describing the warning signs to help recognize both victims and perpetrators, and detail school-and home –based strategies for preventing cyberbullying and healing those affected by the phenomenon.

Cyberbullying is a problem that has only come to light in the last few years. It has many different effects on people; it can cause depression, suicidal thoughts and actions, and effects the way students do in school. Cyberbullying is one of the top leading causes of suicide in teens and young adults (Swearer). Cyberbullying is a major problem that this country needs to get under control because it is leading to self-harm and suicide in teens and young adults. It causes an unsafe learning environment, and the victim cannot get away from the bullying because the attackers stalk them through social media accounts and their cell phones. So, how does

Cyberbullying is just one of the many forms of bullying that can occur and unfortunately, it continues to occur in ever-growing amounts. In this generation, the internet is so easily accessible that no one can prevent themselves from potentially being entrapped by the heinous claws of cyberbullying. Since cyberbullying can reach so many people, it can also bring the detrimental effects along with it. Mental illness, self-harm, and suicide are just a few of the effects that can happen to a person being cyberbullied. Most of the time these effects can be prevented by the intervention of schools, friends, or loved ones. Most cyberbullying incidents happen to students and in most cases, schools are unable to take any form of action. People, especially young Americans should speak up and take action against cyberbullying. They must voice their concerns and make schools be required to intervene in cyberbullying matters that occur off campus, because it can affect them, their friends, or others around

Cyberbullying is the biggest problem in middle school. The effects on the victims can lead to emotional hurt and academic failure

For our research report I focused on cyber bullying and its effects on middle schoolers. While bullying has been around for many generations, new technology has created new types of bullying that has negative effects on middle schoolers mental health and behavior. Cyber bullying has many forms and is defined as using the internet, text messages, apps, and social networking sites to inflict harm on another. Many argue this form of bullying is worse than traditional bullying and is more stressful. Bullying is now not only occurring in school or on the playground but is coming home with students and following them throughout the day. Cyber bullying is hard to avoid and many times children may not know who their bully is. Cyber bullying has been

“Sticks and stones will break your bones but words will never hurt you.” Yeah, right. With the increasing rate of technology in our everyday lives, cyber bullies have more and more ways to find and attack their next victims, and it’s hurting more than ever. There are many ways people can eliminate cyberbullying though, starting with getting help for individuals. Teach your kids how to properly behave online and let them know it is okay to report any bullying they see, whether they are the victim or a bystander. You also need to understand that online bullying can be much worse than real-life “playground” bullying (Strom and Strom). The fear-factor of anonymity is increased (Beale), it is much harder to track down the real oppressor, and cyber bullies often do not see how much emotional pain they can cause (Strom and Strom). Consequences are always a big debate with bullies too, and no one should punish another without seeing their side of the story (Adams).

Cyber bullying has been a fast-growing problem. It affects many children, but I would primarily be focusing on how it affects middle adolescence social behaviors. Cyber Bullying occurs in the digital realm and affects the adolescence at astonishing rates. It is considered a new branch of bullying. Though cyber bullying you cannot physically hurt someone, merely you can hurt the adolescence feelings and emotions, which in turn breaks up their social behaviors. Cyberbullying has become a main issue because adolescences are using the Internet and social media more at this age. They are spending countless amount of hours on the Internet. (Mishna, F., Saini, M., & Solomon, S., 2009) Although cyber bullying is done through digital devices, most of the times the children know each other and have some contact. For that reason, their social health gets affected. (Gofin, R., & Avitzour, M., 2012) They fear to attend school, or go to places where they know their perpetrator will be at. An American study in the year 2007 reported 17% of victims of cyberbullying and 18% cyberbullies at a school. For a particular school, it is something that has to be considered. (Walrave & Heirman, 2011) Due to cyberbullying being a recent concern there are not a lot of prevention programs where adolescence can go search for help. It is important to understand why cyber bullying is happening amongst middle adolescence, and how should

While social media and electronic means for communication have been around the better part of fifteen years, the past ten years have overall shown increases in cyberbullying. Although bullying in general over the past decade has been at a consistent rate, or in some cases even declining, cyberbullying on the average has been rising over the past decade.

The growing psychological health problem of cyberbullying is mainly targeted at teenagers, community involvement through education is needed to identify and help the victims and lead to ways of prevention.
