INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

In today’s generation, cyberbullying is a problem that has

experienced by students for many years. Cyberbullying is a kind
of annoying, intimidating, or humiliating the victims that
occurred over digital devices like mobile phones, computers, and
tablets. It can also be through text messaging and some apps
online, social media, forums, or gaming where people can view,
participate in, or share content.

This is one of the issues that some students in Brooke’s

Point National High School is facing especially at this
generation. Millennia’s are prone to bullying which can affect
its behaviour, social life, and even may turn into depression
which can be the reason of losing self-esteem, poor health and
low academic performance.
This phenomenon happened in the emotional stage of being
adolescence whereas most are exposed with online activities and
social media. This sometimes may not be noticeable for some
bullies which thought something considered as a joke. Victims
mostly didn’t show feeling and just keep hiding emotions which is
dangerous. Like for examples, posting unwanted words or funny and
annoying pictures that would ruin the reputation of the target
victim.

Cyberbullying can occur anywhere even at home through email,

SMS Cellphones and social media websites in our daily lives and
many people are involved, where most of it is teens. The
depressive effect of cyber bullying prevents students from
excelling in their studies (Lauren, 2011).Bullying in schools and
universities are causing unimaginable problems to students,
parents and to educational institutions.

The profile of a cyber-bully may partially explain why cyber-

bullying takes place and what can be undertaken to stop it.
However, the most valid explanation of cyber-bulling is that the
Internet provided the additional tool for hurting others and
ever-existing human aggression/pain sublimation/self-assertion
migrated from the real world to the virtual space.

We often say bullies are jealous, unhappy or just unkind

people. While there is some truth to those perceptions, the
reality is more nuanced. Cyberbullying, in fact, can come from
more mundane feelings, like boredom. Access and opportunity can
also lead students to bully others online.

Forty percent of students who cyberbully say they do not feel

any feelings of guilt or shame after the bullying, according to
a large study of students published in the "American Journal of
Orthopsychiatry."

Some students also reported that online bullying made them

feel better. These students reported feeling "funny, popular and
powerful" online. The study also explained that a natural desire
for attention can cause students to cyberbully.
Objective of the Study

1. The purpose of this study is to present research exploring the

causes and impacts of cyberbullying on student’s academic

performance.

2. To evaluate the existence of cyber bullying among particular

students in Brooke’s Point National High School.

3. To inform or give school leaders a greater understanding of

this phenomenon and suggest solution to deal with this

challenging issues.

This study aims to determine the effects of cyberbullying

towards student’s academic performance among the selected
respondents from Brooke’s Point National High School area.
Especially, this research seeks to answer the following research
question.
1. What are the factors or causes of cyberbullying?
2. What are the present situation among the students of
Brooke’s Point National High School in terms of
cyberbullying?
3. What are the effects of cyberbullying on student’s academic
performance.
Significance of the Study

students in different section. This research conducted from

November 25, 2018. and published on February 25, 2019.

 Chapter II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

This chapter present different related studies and literature

that will give more concrete information to the research. This clearly

emphasize the study.

Related Studies

Modern technology is continuously evolving, and in recent

times, it has manifested itself in a very serious social problem,
namely cyber bullying. Modern technology is like a double-edged
sword; on one hand it gives us connectivity, on the other it
increases emotional stress (Michel, 2011). As such, young
internet users, including students, may be at the mercy of cyber
bullies. The victims, under great emotional stress,are unable to
concentrate on their studies, and thus their academic progress is
adversely affected (Juliana,2010). Unfortunately little attention
is given to this global problem by institutions of higher
learning,teachers, parents and emergency service providers.

This aggression can be repeated, deliberate hostility. Cyber-

bullying occurs "when the Internet,cell phones or other devices
are used to send or post text or images intended to hurt or
embarrass another person”.
 Cyber bullying causes grave harm to an individual or group of
people by exposing their personal data, realnames and addresses
to criminals with malicious intent to the targeted individual or
group.Cyber bullying can include such acts as making threats,
sending provocative insults or racial or ethnic slurs, gay
bashing,attempting to infect the victim's computer with a virus,
and flooding an e-mail inbox with messages

The depressive effect of cyber bullying prevents students

from excelling in their studies (Lauren, 2011).Bullying in
schools and universities are causing unimaginable problems to
students, parents and to educational institutions. Unfortunately
little has been done to help those victims who are
continuouslytrapped in the name of modernization and
digitalization (Watson, 2010). Researchers agree that the
stressful impact of bullying is escalating with the rapid
expansion of technological advancement (Justin, 2011).Many
students who are victims of cyber bullies suffer silently; they
are reluctant to complain to the authorities or their parents
owing to the social stigma attached to victims of bullies (Susan,
2011). As such,parents, teachers and institutional authorities
have to be on the look out for such occurrences.

Undergraduate students use the Internet for a wide variety of

purposes, including recreation, such as communicating in online
groups or playing games; academics, such as doing assignments,
researching scholarships or completing online applications; and
practical, such as preparing for job interviews by researching
companies. Students also use the Internet for social
communication with increasing frequency. The cyberbullying
literature suggests that the victims generally manifest
psychological problems such as depression, loneliness, low self-
esteem, school phobias and social anxiety (Grene, 2003; Juvonen,
Graham, & Shuster, 2003). Moreover, research findings have shown
that cyberbullying causes emotional and physiological damage to
defenceless victims (Akbulut, Sahin, & Eristi, 2010) as well as
psychosocial difficulties including behavior problems, drinking
alcohol, smoking, depression, and low commitment to academics
(Ybarra & Mitchell, 2007)

The word cyberbullying did not even exist a decade ago, yet
the problem has become a pervasive one today. Cyberbullies do not
have to be strong or fast; they just need access to a cell phone
or computer and a desire to terrorize. Anyone can be a
cyberbully, and such persons usually have few worries about
having face-to-face confrontation with their victims. In fact,
the anonymity of cyberbullying may cause students who normally
would not bully in the tradition-sense to become a cyberbully
(Poland, 2010).
The double-edged nature of modern technology, continuously
balancing between risks and opportunities, manifests itself
clearly in an emerging societal problem known as cyberbullying
(Walrave & Heirman, 2011). More than 97% of youths in the United
States are connected to the Internet in some way (Tokunaga,
2010). The number of children and teens who use the Internet at
home is rapidly growing, with now over 66% of fourth to ninth
graders able to go online from the comfort of their bedrooms.
Children can engage in numerous Internet-based activities such as
game playing, seeking information, and talking with friends. The
constellation of benefits, however, has been recently eclipsed by
numerous accounts of the Internet's undesirable social
implications, which appear in both scholarly literature and
popular media. A fair amount of attention has been given to
Internet offenses, including cyberstalking (Seto, 2002), sexual
predation (Dombrowski, Lemasney,
In a study conducted by Wong-Lo and Bullock (2011) a
total of 137 participants (62 adolescents; 75 parents) responded
to a survey. Results indicated that 90% of the participants from
the adolescent group have reported to have experienced
cyberbullying either as victims or as a bystander. In addition,
70% of the victims have been cyberbullied one to two times within
a month’s time and 50% of the victims did not know the
perpetrator. Secondly, 89% of parent participants indicated to be
knowledgeable about the issues relating to cyberbullying and 89%
reported to have no knowledge if their child has or has not been
a victim of cyberbullying. Furthermore, qualitative findings of
personal perspectives toward cyberbullying from each
participating group are discussed.

A review of literature is provided and results and analysis

of the survey are discussed as well as recommendations for future
research. Erdur-Baker’s (2010) study revealed that 32% of the
students were victims of both cyberbullying and traditional
bullying, while 26% of the students bullied others in both
cyberspace and physical environments.

Electronic bullying, online bullying, and/or cyberbullying

are new methods of bullying involving forms of bullying defined
as harassment using technology such as social websites (MySpace,
Facebook, etc.), email, chat rooms, mobile phone texting and
cameras, picture messages (including sexting), IM (instant
messages), and/or blogs (Miller & Hufstedler, 2009; Beale & Hall,
2007). Across the sample, the most common sites in which
cyberbullying occurred were email (21%), online chatrooms (20%),
social networking sites (20%) and mobile phones (19%). Other
websites (8%) and other forms of texting, such as Twitter (6%),
were also reported. Through free-text response, 12% of
participants also reported MSN Messenger as a cyberbullying tool.
Figure 1 lists some of the many “tools” a cyberbully can use.

Externalizing behaviors were most predictive of cyber victim

status. Increased awareness about the use of technology as a
vehicle for bullying and identification of potential problems
associated with cyber bullying and victimization will aid
parents, educators, and psychologists in developing intervention
and prevention strategies. (Williams, & Guerra). According to
Calvete, et al (2010) cyberbullying was significantly associated
with the use of proactive aggression, justification of violence,
exposure to violence, and less perceived social support of
friends. Other reasons for cyberbullying are: envy, prejudice and
intolerance for disability, religion, gender, shame, pride,
guilt, and anger. (Hoff & Mitchell, 2009; Jones, Manstead, &
Livingstone, 2011).

According to Mesch (2009) cyberbullying emerges most

commonly from relationship problems (break-ups, envy,
intolerance, and ganging up); victims experience powerfully
negative effects (especially on their social well-being); and the
reactive behavior from schools and students is generally
inappropriate, absent, or ineffective (Hoff & Mitchell, 2009).
There is a significant correlation between becoming a cybervictim
and loneliness among adolescents according to Sahin (2012).
Studies show that electronic bullying peaks in middle school.

Adolescents who socialize online have probably been involved

in cyberbullying in some form (Trolley et al., 2006; Willard,
2005 as cited in Mason, 2008). There are six different roles
identified throughout the literature. Entitlement bullies are
individuals who believe they are superior and have the right to
harass or demean others, especially if the person is different.
Targets of entitlement bullies are individuals who are picked on
because bullies believe that they are different or inferior.

Retaliators are individuals who have been bullied by others

and are using the Internet to retaliate. Victims of retaliators
are individuals who have been bullying others, but are now
receiving the cruelty of being cyberbullied. Furthermore,
bystanders who are part of the problem are individuals who
encourage and support the bully or who watch the bullying from
the sidelines but do nothing to help the victim. Finally,
bystanders who are part of the solution are individuals who seek
to stop the bullying, protest it, and provide support to the
victim (Trolley et al., 2006; Willard, 2005 as cited in Mason,
2008).

How does giftedness relate to bullying and being bullied? In

a recent survey of fifth-grade students, Estell et al. (2009)
found that academically gifted students and general education
students were less likely than students with mild disabilities to
be viewed as bullies by their peers. Teachers also rated
academically gifted students as less likely to bully or be
bullied than both general education students and students with
mild disabilities. Key factors in being perceived as a bully were
associations with aggressive and popular peers. Social isolates
were the most likely to be bullied. Whereas gifted students are
less likely to bully or be bullied according to this research,
bullying is still a factor in their lives (Siegle, 2010).

Smith et al (2008) found in line with Raskauskas and Stoltz

(2007), that cyber victims had also often been traditional
victims, and cyberbullies had often been traditional bullies;
many traditional victims or bullies were not cyber victims or
bullies, since cyberbullying is substantially less frequent.
Cyber victims are more dependent upon the internet, feel less
popular, take more internet-related risks, are more often a
bystander and perpetrator of internet and mobile phone bullying,
and are less often a perpetrator and more often a victim of
traditional bullying. (Vandebosch & Van Cleemput, 2008).

Conceptual framework
After a deep analysis with different studies, the researcher
arrived at a conceptual framework of this investigation. To
conduct a basic structure of something or a set of ideas of

considered themselves as the victims or the one who bullied
online but most of the statement, proof or evidences from the
survey that in out of 100%, 70-80% of them answered that the
cyberbullying is an alerting issue nowadays.
 III. Recommendation

Now, for those who suffer a cyberbullying the effects can be

devastating, leaving your feeling like humiliated, angry,
depressed, feeling hurt or even suicidal but no type of bullying
should ever be tolerated.

The recommendation of that, is important not to respond to

any messages or posts written about you, no matter how it hurts
you so much or even untrue stories about you are being exposed,
don’t be so much affected about it. Responding on those criticism
will only make this situation worse and provoking a reaction from
you or any action that you’ve done was they want. They only want
is to satisfy their happiness through bullying so everyone can
notice them. Therefore don’t seek revenge on a cyberbully because
of it, it can also call yourself as a cyberbully. It will only
make a problem worst and could result only in a serious legal
consequences that you can encounter by that.
