During our research, we examined what happens to victims after they have been cyberbullied, their personal opinions, and why they choose not to report the incident.

The analysis took place by using a range of questionnaires, to understand what can cause the victim to feel inadequate and overly self-conscious, as well as the possibility of suicide. The university and parents can take numerous steps to prevent cyberbullying and to intervene if it occurs. Despite the convenience that social media and other communication technologies offer us, our students are also exposed to interactions that put their safety and emotional well-being at risk.
