Cyberbullying Among Adolescents
The topic selected for this paper is cyberbullying. I have chosen this topic due to is
rapidly rising notoriety and popularity in contemporary society. Cyberbullying is a more refined
type of traditional bullying, whereby there are no physical engagements between perpetrators
and victims. The developmental stages selected for the assignment are adolescents. According to
the World Health Organization (2014), adolescence refers to a developmental stage between 10-
19 years (World Health Organization, 2014). In the context of this assignment, adolescence
represents a developmental group mostly affected by cyberbullying.
Cyberbullying relies on cellphones, tablets, and other internet-enabled devices as the
primary digital technology. In addition to internet-enabled gadgets, cyberbullying depends on
online social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram in facilitating
interactions between various groups of people. Cellphones and social media have numerous
benefits for adolescents. Through the internet, teenagers (most of them are students) can access
information and learn various skills, languages, and sports (Alobaidi, 2018).
Also, social media enables adolescents to form virtual friendships and gain social, and
cultural knowledge. Currently, social media is one of the most effective channels used in

Mitigation of Cyberbullying Among Adolescents Department of Psychology, Walden University Development in the Digital Age Cyberbullying Among Adolescents The topic selected for this paper is cyberbullying. I have chosen this topic due to is rapidly rising notoriety and popularity in contemporary society. Cyberbullying is a more refined type of traditional bullying, whereby there are no physical engagements between perpetrators and victims. The developmental stages selected for the assignment are adolescents. According to the World Health Organization (2014), adolescence refers to a developmental stage between 10- 19 years (World Health Organization, 2014). In the context of this assignment, adolescence represents a developmental group mostly affected by cyberbullying. Cyberbullying relies on cellphones, tablets, and other internet-enabled devices as the primary digital technology. In addition to internet-enabled gadgets, cyberbullying depends on online social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram in facilitating interactions between various groups of people. Cellphones and social media have numerous benefits for adolescents. Through the internet, teenagers (most of them are students) can access information and learn various skills, languages, and sports (Alobaidi, 2018). Also, social media enables adolescents to form virtual friendships and gain social, and cultural knowledge. Currently, social media is one of the most effective channels used in

conveying messages about social, economic, and political issues such as racial discrimination, social justice, and climate change. Even with countless benefits, the internet and cellphones have numerous drawbacks and limitations. Firstly, cellphones and social media hinder the development of physical and emotional connections between users. Apart from making friends online, social media only fosters virtual relationships that cannot be relied upon for emotional and psychological support. Most importantly, social media is increasingly reducing family connections and slowly replacing them with non-reliable virtual relationships. Secondly, social media is increasingly becoming vulnerable to hacking and breaching personal privacies. Recently, cybercrime is on the rise. Credit card fraud and leaking of private information have become common in modern society. In as much as it is useful for networking and socialization, cellphones and social media are the current tools used for slander and tarnishing people’s reputations. Also, it is crucial to note the opportunity provided by the internet for people to hurt others. Social media platforms have evolved into avenues where spiteful and vindictive individuals share unwanted and resentful opinions and comments about other users. Most of the time, perpetrators vent their frustrations and issues on other users for no apparent reason (Alobaidi, 2018). In most scenarios, "trolls" are glorified on social media and attract a massive following due to their habit of humiliating people. Even with measures to control such behavior, the culture persists. One of the main limitations of cell phones and social media is the impact on creativity, thoughtfulness, and innovation. Avid users of social media are addicted to an imaginary lifestyle and quite often fail to carry out their responsibilities as a result of spending too much time on
