Cyberbullying in the World of Teenagers and Social Media

Abstract

Cyberbullying amongst teenagers is a major issue, due to their increased use of social media. Previous literature surveys have not covered in detail cyberbullying studies in 2014 and cyberbullying risk factors. This literature review explores cyberbullying research areas, such as the use of social media by teenagers, themes from cyberbullying studies carried out since 2012, cyberbullying risk factors and how teenagers deal with cyberbullying incidents. Current cyberbullying studies highlighted issues such as the high volume of cyberbullying incidents in school, increased personal information disclosure on social media, peer influences and the safety of the school environment for both bully and victim. Studies focusing on cyberbullying risk factors raised debates on factors such as whether males or females are most likely to be victims/cyberbullies. Tackling cyberbullying requires awareness, education for actors involved in cyberbullying, development of software to detect cyberbullying and including actors in the monitoring of cyberbullying.

Vršnjačko nasilje na internetu je, pak, složen i višedimenzionalan fenomen novijeg datuma, koji počinje intenzivno da se tematizuje u poslednjih petnaest godina (Antoniadou i Kokkinos, 2015: 364).…”

Peranan Orang Tua Terhadap Tingkat Penggunaan Media Online Remaja di Jakarta

“…Cyberbullying sendiri jika tidak ditangani secara serius melalui pengawasan orang tua sebagai pemberi sarana anak berselancar di dunia maya, maka akan mengakibatkan si anak akan membawa cyberbullying ini ke dunia nyata dan mencari sasaran teman yang dapat di-bully. Dia akan juga membully teman-temannya, atau kalau ia korban, makai akan depresi dan stres, sehingga mengganggu kehidupan sehari-harinya (Alim, 2016;Fisher, 2013 Anak-anak siswa-siswi SMA di Jakarta Utara yang menjadi sampel dalam penelitian ini menunjukkan ketergantungan mereka pada internet.
