I. INTRODUCTION Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time. Bullying includes actions such as making threats, spreading rumors, attacking someone physically or verbally, and excluding someone from a group on purpose. Cyber bullying is different from traditional bullying due to the anonymity that the Internet can provide. Cyber bullies do not have to own their actions due to the anonymity and cyber bullying is often outside of the legal reach of school boards since it often happens outside of the school. The purpose of this paper is to further understand cyber bullying which continues to occur more often as technology becomes more readily accessible by everyone, especially students and to explore ways of preventing cyber bullying before it happens. II. BACKROUND OF STUDY As the days, years and generation pass by, the world of social media is growing bigger and bigger. It comes more advance than ever and a lot of people want it to improve and they think that it would be better if it continues to grow, the people have the advantages it has been helpful to them in many aspects like connecting to other people easily by chatting them or posting something that makes them feel like they’re just close to where are you. But opposite of the advantage that they have, they also have the disadvantage of using social media like they experience cyber bullying which can affect them emotionally. This cyber bullying is also growing which is resulting to more incidents. Many people already experienced cyber bullying, not only the known personalities like the government officials and celebrities but also an ordinary individual may experience it. Cyber bullying causes the victim to be hurt emotionally. According to ETCB or End to Cyber Bullying Organization, there are five different forms of cyber bullying. First the harassment, it includes the bully sending offensive and malicious messages to an individual. Cyber stalking is form of harassment that includes sending rude and threatening messages that can lead to physical harassment. The second is flaming which is somewhat similar to harassment but the difference is it often direct harsh languages to a specific questions. The third is exclusion, I think many people already experience this because it’s something that is common thing that people do sometimes. The exclusions is like you’re in a group chat and then they blocked you and kicked you out of the group chat and after that they will talk badly of you, that is what we called exclusions. The fourth is outing, that is when the bully post something about an individual but the individual doesn’t know about that. The last one is what we called masquerading which includes the bully to fake is identity. The bully impersonates his chosen individual and harasses someone anonymously. In other words, cyber bullying looks like iy’s easy to do and it’s really not an issue but no, all of this creates mess and hurts an individual emotionally that’s why we decided to do a research with this topic to know what are the difference ways to prevent cyber bullying to cause problems in own places.
