Abstract

Cyberbullying - one of the notorious problems from this digital age. Consequently, this research paper is embarked to elaborate upon the social context of cyber bullying highlighting its dimensions (ranges), types and effects etc., additionally presents an overall view at whole phenomena that has been taken in form literature review. The paper is going to use relevant quantitative and qualitative information in order for it has as many data-based resources possible on both the effects of cyberbullying individually, culturally, and societally. Cyberbullying has grown out of the rapid invention and accessibility to new digital technologies, coupled with the spreadability that social media platforms provide.

The proliferation of digital technologies and the rise in popularity of social media platforms have radically changed bullying, particularly among high school students. With the rising dependency of teenagers and children on digital communication mediums, their susceptibility to cyberbullying has shot up. Adolescents are particularly vulnerable of suffering from those emotional and social consequences by cyberbullying since their years in training go hand to hand with online presence where peers participate. For this particular subgroup, the endless being-online lends itself to added stress and a further reinforcement for cyberbullying - menaces including social exclusion, self-doubt, presentation of clinical-like conditions at times in these vulnerable lives.

This paper discusses features that characterize cyberbullying as uniquely different than other Internet and technology abuses, segues into a review of the literature on cyberabuse in general (which has led to over 90% accuracy rates for identifying online predators), then provides research proposals designed to further reduce it.
