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.

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.
