Cyberbullying
Children being aggressive towards other children has been a long-drawn-out clinical and social problem. Over the past years, many have put emphasis and focus on this problem to prevent and understand this type of aggression known as bullying. This distinct type of aggression are children who intentionally hurt others. Although it may lead to physical wounds, it is often committed in psychological form such as threatening, isolating others, spreading rumors, and name calling verbally or electronically. However, bullying is commonly defined among mental professionals as “a form of aggression involving intentional and harmful behavior marked by repeated engagement and an asymmetric physical or psychological power relationship” (Williams & Guerra, 2007). Bullies prey on victims who are rejected or isolated by peers, show lack of social skills, have negative thoughts about themselves, difficulty in solving social problems, and bad environment such as family and school. Currently, with the advancement of technology, children have many ways to interact, socialize, and communicate with one another. Unfortunately, this method of communication is generating the most threatening terror described as cyberbullying. In the past, bullying has been framed as a schoolyard problem; nonetheless, the Internet offers a different venue for bullies. While this commonly used strategy has made it easier for bullies, it caused difficulty to manage within school systems. In addition it has also been opening doors for potential adolescent to develop this type of aggressive behavior. The purpose of this paper is to investigate traditional and cyberbullying, evaluate the connection between methods, and tactics that society can partake in decreasing bullying in schools and social networking websites.
