Abstract

Cyberbullying is becoming increasingly common and problematic today due to the emergence of the digital ecosystem. Ultimately, with the many advances that both the internet and digital technology have to offer, this has paved the way for many approaches for cyberbullies to commit cyberbullying to victims, for example, through social media, networking sites, emails, messages, and phone calls. Numerous studies have shown that cyberbullying can cause several serious health problems to victims, including, but not limited to, depression, sadness, loneliness, and even suicidal thoughts. There are various forms of cyberbullying, including flaming, harassment, denigration, impersonation, outing and trickery, exclusion, cyberstalking, and cyber threat. Through qualitative research, this paper aims to analyze the use of social media contributing to cyberbullying, identify the common methods of cyberbullying, assess the impacts of cyberbullying from the perspectives of victims and perpetrators, and discover strategies to prevent cyberbullying. This study found that teenagers who spend most of their time on social media are primarily exposed to cyberbullying and tend to experience humiliation, poor academic performance, and depression. Teens are also more likely to spend more time on digital technology to stay connected with each other and broaden their social world. Thus, the parents’ and teachers’ interventions are vital in combating the issue.
