ABSTRACT:

Cyberbullying is the use of technology to harass, threaten,

embarrass, or target another person. By definition, it

occurs among young people. When an adult is involved, it

may meet the definition of cyber-harassment or cyber

stalking, a crime that can have legal consequences and

involve jail time.

Sometimes cyberbullying can be easy to spot for example,

if your child shows you a text, tweet, or response to a

status update on Facebook that is harsh, mean, or cruel.

Other acts are less obvious, like impersonating a victim

online or posting personal information, photos, or videos

designed to hurt or embarrass another person. Some kids

report that a fake account, webpage, or online persona has

been created with the sole intention to harass and bully.

Cyberbullying also can happen accidentally. The impersonal

nature of text messages, IMs, and emails make it very hard

to detect the sender's tone one person's joke could be

another's hurtful insult. Nevertheless, a repeated pattern

of emails, texts, and online posts is rarely accidental.

Because many kids are reluctant to report being bullied,

even to their parents, it's impossible to know just how

many are affected. But recent studies about cyberbullying

4
rates have found that about 1 in 4 teens have been the

victims of cyberbullying, and about 1 in 6 admit to having

cyberbullied someone. In some studies, more than half of

the teens surveyed said that they've experienced abuse

through social and digital media.

Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place over digital

devices like cell phones, computers, and tablets.

Cyberbullying can occur through SMS, Text, and apps, or

online in social media, forums, or gaming where people can

view, participate in, or share content. Cyberbullying

includes sending, posting, or sharing negative, harmful,

false, or mean content about someone else. It can include

sharing personal or private information about someone else

causing embarrassment or humiliation. Some cyberbullying

crosses the line into unlawful or criminal behavior.

INTRODUCTION:

Cyberbullying is like a fun fact for the bullies of the

past and now. It has been something schools and kids have

been struggling with for a long time. Bullies have always

enjoyed embarrassing people and fooling around with them,

only now it can be done on a computer. It is not known

exactly when cyberbullying started but the strategies of

cyberbullies have expanded greatly in correlation with the

5
fast growth of technological tools in communication. An

Internet bully usually makes demands for personal

information of others, constantly repeating the requests

and attempting to embarrass and imitate those who refuse to

give such information.

There are two kinds of cyberbullying: direct attacks for

the people who send messages out directly, or cyberbullying

by proxy, which is using others to help cyberbully the

victim, either with or without the accomplices knowledge.

Cyberbullying by proxy often gets adults involved in the

harassment, and so it is generally much more dangerous.

Cyberbullying by proxy sometimes starts with the cyberbully

posing as the victim. They may have hacked into their

account or stolen their password. They may have set up a

new account pretending to be the victim. But however they

do it, they are pretending to be the victim and trying to

create problems for the victim with the help of others.

The most typical way a cyberbullying by proxy attack occurs

is when the cyberbully gets control of the victim's account

and sends out hateful or rude messages to everyone on their

buddy list pretending to be the victim. They may also

change the victim's password so they can't get into their

own account. The victim's friends get angry with the

6
victim, thinking they sent the messages out, not knowing

that they have been used by the cyberbully. However,

cyberbullying is not always this minor, sometimes the

cyberbully tries to get more people involved.

With the prevalence of social media and digital forums,

comments, photos, posts, and content shared by individuals

can often be viewed by strangers as well as acquaintances.

The content an individual shares online both their

personal content as well as any negative, mean, or hurtful

content creates a kind of permanent public record of

their views, activities, and behavior. This public record

can be thought of as an online reputation, which may be

accessible to schools, employers, colleges, clubs, and

others who may be researching an individual now or in the

future. Cyberbullying can harm the online reputations of

everyone involved not just the person being bullied, but

those doing the bullying or participating in it.

Cyberbullying has unique concerns in that it can be:

BODY:

BENEFITS:

1. Stand Up For Themselves

7
Cyber bullying often attacks personal traits of an

individual, such as their weight, appearance, voice, or

values. This can be extremely damaging to a developing

child. Cyber bullies often choose this avenue because it

can be done from the safety of their home, with no real

confrontation. This works both ways, however. Children that

are experiencing cyber bullying feel much more empowered to

stand up for themselves, because they are also in the

comfort of their home.

2. Its In Writing

Social media, texts, and emails are all in writing, and

once they are sent they cannot be taken back. This gives

hard and undeniable proof that this bullying is occurring,

as well as exactly who is involved. It can tremendously

help parents and schools to identify who the problem

students are and the proper actions to take.

3. From The Bullies Perspective

If you are the person who is doing the bullying online, you

may feel very confident and courageous when bullying

someone from behind a computer. This also often makes

people develop an inflated ego and feel cool.

8
EFFECTS:

1. Spreads To Day To Day Life

Cyber bullying is very commonly just a side product of real

life, face to face bullying that is occurring. This may

make the victim feel scared and unsure in there normal

days, especially at school or other social situations.

2. Risk of Depression And Suicide

An increasing number of young kids are falling into a

depressive state, and sadly, committing suicide as a result

from this cyber bullying. The abuse is so severe and

inescapable that they feel it is their only way out. Young

adults and kids are very susceptible to criticism and

cruelty because they are still unsure of themselves.

3. Out Of Schools Hands

Because cyber bullying doesnt occur in the school in a

literal sense, many schools do not do anything about it. It

is not because they dont care, but the guildelines for

discipline and boundaries of when their control stops is

unclear when it comes to students online lives.

4. It Follows You

9
Traditional bullying, or face to face altercations, doesnt

follow the same rules that cyber bullying does. With

traditional bullying the victim can go home and get away

from it at some point, they have safety zones and times.

However, when it comes to cyber bullying all bets are off.

Cell phones and computers are always there, the attacks can

happen at any time of the day or night and anywhere. This

makes the victims feel completely helpless.

5. Larger Audience

Cyber bullying is very much public, and because it is

published it has the ability to reach a very broad

audience. Furthering the humiliation of the person being

harassed.

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, it can be seen that cyberbullying is one of

the biggest problems facing youth in our society today. It

has also been shown that there is insufficient legislation

to combat against it. Instead, parents and teachers should

focus on prevention, and educating kids about the effects

of cyberbullying. As awareness of the problem increases,

hopefully cyberbullying will stop.
