According to Noll (2016), because of the rising use of the internet and social networking
sites, cyberbullying is becoming a big concern among adolescents. Cyberbullying is defined as
behavior that is intentional and destructive, inflicted through electronic channels, and is
defined as spreading rumors, making threats, uploading embarrassing information or images,
sending threatening messages, or any other ways of bullying in cyberspace. Cyberbullying,
according to studies, can cause mental health issues in teenager victims, leaving them lonely,
dejected, and rejected. According to this study, adolescents who have been victims of
cyberbullying express negative emotional consequences. Moreover, according to studies, 90%
of adolescents say they use the Internet regularly, and 70% say they have at least one user
profile on a social media platform (Patton et al., 2014). Adolescents have a lot of opportunities
to communicate with one another because of social networking sites like chat rooms,
Facebook, and Twitter. According to reports, youngsters use social media and social networking
sites to promote violent behaviors against their peers, such as bullying and harassment.
Cyberbullying can now occur through a variety of sources, including cellular phones,
Internet chat rooms, online blogs, e-mails, and instant messaging, as technology has improved
(2010).
Cyberbullying has a wide range of harmful consequences. The Implications of Poor
academic performance, school dropout, physical violence, and suicide are all examples of
cyberbullying, a form of bullying typically hidden from adults (Willard, 2006). Cyberbullying is
linked to negative consequences such as low self-esteem, family troubles, academic challenges,
school violence, and delinquent behavior, according to Patchin and Hinduja (2008). Suicide and
violence, on the other hand, are the worst outcomes. Bullying on social media among
undergraduate college students is a problem that must be addressed right away. These events
can cause a student to lose sight of the bigger picture

Cyberbullying is a broad term that encompasses a wide range of online abuse, including
harassment, doxing, reputation attacks, and revenge porn, among other things. By instigating or
participating in online hate campaigns, the perpetrator uses technology such as computers,
consoles, cell phones, and/or any other device with internet or social media access to harass,
stalk, or abuse another person. Although most of the media coverage portrays cyberbullying as
a problem limited to social media, it is also a major issue in the online gaming community.
Cyberbully victims frequently have no idea who is behind the accounts that are assaulting them.
The victim may suspect who the bullies are, but due to trolling and bullying, they are unable to
prove it (Solutions, n.d.)
