CYBERBULLYING
Lexier, Coppell
I Safe.org stated that fifty eight percent of kids admit that they have not
told a parent/adult about being insulted online. It seems like kids are afraid to
speak up about being cyber bullied. They are probably scared of being called
a snitch, or being bullied even more. It’s important that we let kids/teens know
that they shouldn't be afraid to let someone know. An adult is more powerful
than a kid or teen.
This can be put to a stop. “Think before you post!” It is very important to do so.
You never know how much of a negative impact your post could be on
someone. Be cautious. Is your hurtful post worth risking someone’s life?
scope of the cyber space. Hence, with the belief that the web cannot be a
mode of causing pain to anybody, it can be inferred that the participants were
caught off guard by the whole incident.
It can be deduced, according to this study, that the bullying
regardless of the specific stories the participants have comes from a post or
something the participants may have done in the past that caused the
resentment, jealously, or misunderstanding from the bully. This cyber bullying
serves as an evolution of the traditional bullying often seen in grade school.
The bullying may have happened online, but the effects it has brought to its
victims are not limited to the virtual world. The narrations of the participants
show that there are numerous offline effects the cyber bullying can cause to
its victims personal, social, and professional lives. Despite the truth that the
bullying did not happen in the real world, its effect manifest in the real lives of
the participants and can even affect them in the worst ways possible.

Methodology
This chapter gives an outline of research methods that were followed in
the study. It provides information on the participants, that is, the criteria for
inclusion in the study, who the participants were and how they were sampled.
The researchers described the research design that was chosen for the
purpose of this study and the reasons for this choice. The instrument that was
used for data collection was also described and the procedures that were
followed to carry out this study were included. Lastly, the statistical treatment
of data that were followed in the process were also discussed.
Research Design
The researchers used the descriptive method which is the most
appropriate research method to determine the effects of cyberbullying on the
behavior of the grade 12 students of Philippine Christian University – Senior
High School S.Y. 2017-2018. The researchers also used random and
purposive sampling to gather data from the respondents. The gathered data
will be organized and analyzed in order to come up with a significant study.
Research Instrument
The researchers used the questionnaire for gathering data about the
effects of cyberbullying to the behavior of the grade 12 students in Philippine
Christian University Senior High School. The questionnaire conducted by the
researchers included a comment section where the respondents can express
their thoughts about the problem.
The questionnaire consisted of two parts. Part I aimed to gather
information on the respondent’s personal data as his/her name, gender,
section and strand. Part II dealt with the behavior of the respondents when
being involved in the act of cyberbullying as a victim and as a perpetrator and
also asked for some recommendations from the respondents that would help
minimize the possible effects of cyberbullying.

long-term psychological harm to targets. This harm includes low self-esteem,
depression, anger, school failure and avoidance, and, in some cases, school
violence or suicide.

nothing to do with them. They should put a great amount of respect to the
privacy of others like social accounts, password, messages, and personal
belongings, and that cyber-bullying is not an option.
