Abstract
Introduction
Cyber bullying is a form of bullying that has been taking place a lot more in
middle and high schools because of the improvement of technology and increased
usage of social media networks. People say that online bullying is easier to get
away with than bullying in person. This may be true but this paragraph with give
reasons why people shouldnt think this. Refutation, Maybe its not the school
board that the blame should be put on rather than te parents should deal with
them. It is their kids so why not have the parents get involved and try to stop their
children from being bullies? Some may say its no one elses business on what the
do on the internet but some parents may feel hurt that their child could actually do
that.
The birth of the Internet and its success in changing the secondary
students has been largely researched in various subjects and defined in various
terms. But as years passes by the Internet evolves and creates new rules for
being aware from cyber bullying.
Do you know if your middle school or high school had a punishment for
this? Exactly. It is not very common for schools to have cyber bullies suspended.
Not because of it being hard for them to get away with it, but because schools may
not realize how serious of an issue this really is. Middle schools and high schools
should have students who act as bullies on the internet suspended from school to
teach them a lesson on what they are doing is wrong. Many students have taken
their own lives because of another student saying something harmful to them
online, and this needs to stop. I think that cyber bullies of middle school and high
school ages should be punished because they will finally understand that what
they are doing is wrong.
What are the negative effects of social networking and what are the
problems that result from these effects? Now, this term paper aims to discuss the
effects of social networking sites to teenagers. It increasingly interest academic
and industry researchers who were intrigued by Social Networking Sites
affordability and reach. Besides, we researchers want to specify that we would like
to discuss only negative effects of Social Networking Sites to teenagers focusing
with these areas. First, Social Networking causes cyber bullying and personal
fraud. How are these two connected? According to Ann Frisn, Professor of
Psychology at the University of Gothenburg, Cyber bullying occurs when new
technologies such as computers used to harass or bully somebody. The
perpetrators often use SMS, e-mail, chat rooms and Facebook to spread their
message. While personal fraud is a crime type that is rapidly growing in the society
because of the wide range of expansion and availability of internet technology and
the enhancement of electronic storage, spread and distribution of data (Australian
Bureau of Statistics,2008). Then, cyber bullying and personal fraud would lead to
several problems, these includes: depression, isolation and invasion of privacy. For
better understanding, the researchers would discuss briefly these three problems.
First, Young victims of electronic or cyber bullying which occurs online are more
likely to suffer from depression than their tormentors are a new study of (Science
Daily, 2010). Cyber bullying has more grave impact to its target victim mentally
because of its wide range of audience since it can be seen worldwide and this
causes traumatic experience to the victims that lead to mild or severe depression
rather than traditional bullying which caters only limited audience. Because of
severe depression of the victim that would lead to another problem which is
isolation since the victim is being humiliated it would now be a hindrance for the
victim to mingle and could weaken the strong ties as e result of preoccupied mind
and eventually interferes and lessens with the victims interpersonal skills. This is
true also for the victims of personal fraud since their information are being stolen.
And this would lead to invasion of privacy, since the victim has no personal space
anymore and plagiarizes the personal data of the victim. For further integration, the
researchers would discuss thoroughly these problems in the later part and discover
how these affect the point of view of the readers. Furthermore, the researchers
have conducted this study to give importance to this rising problems and to look at
the possible effects and analyze each effect further. If each effect would already be
understood then pieces of advice on lessening these effects will be further studied
and eventually be given by experts.
Chapter 1
There has been much discussion over the last few days about whether it is
appropriate for schools to actively monitor the social media activities of students. At
the center of this recent interest is Glendale Unified School District, which is
located in Southern California and has a middle and high school student
population of about 14,000. The district has contracted with Geo Listening, (a
Hermosa Beach, California-based tech company founded in January) to monitor
and keep track of the various things their student body says, posts, shares, and
does online.
The company states that it actively looks for anything online that could
threaten the safety and well-being of students in the district, including cyberbullying
and threats of self-harm. These could be posts that are initiated from school, or
not; using school-owned technology, or not. The technology also allows for the
flagging and reporting of drug use or class-cutting or really anything publicly
posted by a student that could be viewed as problematic to the school.
According to the Cyber bullying Research Center, there are contacted fairly
regularly by tech companies who have developed some technological solution to
cyber bullying that they are looking to market to schools. Weve yet to be swept off
our feet by any of these proposed solutions, and what Geo Listening is doing is
similarly not very innovative or revolutionary. That said, the question remains:
should schools be in the business of actively monitoring what their students are
saying online?
Most people would agree that parents have a responsibility to keep tabs on
what their kids are doing online. This is best accomplished, in my view, by actively
participating in the online activities with them and asking questions about what
they are posting and who they are interacting with. Parents frequently ask me,
though, whether it is a good idea to install tracking or monitoring software on their
childs computer or cell phone as a way to monitor. This is a tough issue. On the
one hand, I am not in a position to tell anyone how to parent their kids. So when
responding to this question, I simply explain the potential consequences of going
this route. If a parent chooses to surreptitiously monitor the online activities of their
kids, eventually they will find something that they will have to confront their child
about. When they do, and their child finds out that the parent had been spying on
them, it will be extremely difficult to repair the harm done as it relates to
encouraging an open and trusting relationship in the future.
Most students say that they have their Facebook accounts set to private.
Indeed, in early research into the social media behaviors of students on MySpace
(remember that site?), we found that in 2006 less than 40% of students had set
their profiles to private. By 2009, 85% of the active users had their profiles
restricted. And this was not a survey of students where we asked them to report
what they were doing. We randomly selected profiles to carefully review to see
how much information was publicly visible. So very early on over four years ago
students recognized the need to avoid having their profiles open for the whole
world to see. Furthermore, more and more teens are moving to ephemeral
communication apps like Snapchat that make it more difficult to watch over and
track what they are saying.
Whether other school districts are also paying others for these services
(were not aware of any). Geo Listening claims that they expect to be working with
more than 3000 schools worldwide by the end of the year. So, this is just the
beginning of the discussion we will have. It remains to be seen how this latest
experiment in using a technological solution to solve a social problem will work out.
Theoretical framework
Social networking communities are here to stay. Facebook has over 500
million users, while Twitter has over 200 million. Thats not even counting blogs or
YouTube video blogs. Theres no doubt that students are actively engaged in
online communities, but what kind of effects are these sites having and how can
parents counteract the bad and bolster the positive? Students, who attempt to
multi-task, checking social media sites while studying, show reduced academic
performance. Their ability to concentrate on the task at hand is significantly
reduced by the distractions that are brought about by YouTube, stumble upon,
Facebook or Twitter. Between cell phones, social media websites, and online
gaming, students today seem to have more outlets for interacting with each other
virtually than they do for interacting with each other in person. However, with all of
the good social interaction that is done as a result of these technologies also
comes the bad. In addition to the physical and verbal bullying that may take place
at school, cyber-bullying in the form of harassing text messages and derogatory
posts on students Facebook or Twitter accounts is now commonplace. Even

Further, it sought answer to the following questions.
3. What would be the impact of the social networking sites on students victimized
by cyber bullying?
The results of the study and research provided valuable insights into the
current social media strategies of organizations and the reasoning behind them.
Judging from both their strategies and their social media experience, it was clear
that communications planners recognize social medias value even if they dont
actually utilize it during emergencies. The study found that, despite planners
acknowledging the value of incorporating social media, 58% of respondents had
no plan, with lack of authorization being the biggest factor of this response.
Additionally, the importance of mobile devices is increasing, while many deem
landline phones as increasingly unreliable for emergency communications.
Respondents were asked questions such as, whether they include social media
such as Facebook and Twitter within their emergency communications strategy,
whether they plan to do so (also why or why not), and how social media fits in with
their other tools such as landline phone, mobile phone and email. Respondents
were also asked about the growing role of mobile versus landline channels and
how social media fits into that trend. Its increasingly important that organizations
recognize that lacking a social media strategy during a crisis is a strategy in and of
itself, albeit not a good one. The public increasingly expects organizations to use
social media both as an inbound and outbound form of communication. If your
organization isnt using social media both to communicate and monitor information
during incidents, you risk missing out on important situational intelligence that
could be critical to your operations and the safety of your employees and key
constituents,
They love it! And oftentimes it seems that they cant live without it. The rise
of social networking sites has students throughout the Mindanao Christian
Foundation College and Seminary fanatical about these addictive websites. Social
networking is a platform of online sites that focus on building relationships among
co-students who may share the same interest or activities. It provides a way for
users to interact over the Internet. Users are often identified by their profiles, which
can consist of photos and basic information, such as location, likes and dislikes, as
well as friends and family. Well-known sites such as Facebook, MySpace, and
Friendster, have taken social networking to a new level. In addition to the
convenience of being able to access these websites from a computer, there are
also applications on mobile devices that make it easy to access social applications
anywhere and anytime. As a teacher, you want to make sure your students is safe
when he or she is engaged in social networking. You may find it challenging to
keep up with the ever-changing technology. You may also feel like your students is
much more Internet savvy than you are, and in fact, that may be true. But as savvy
as your student may be, he or she may not be aware of the dangers of online
networking and what precautions he or she should take to stay safe. It is time to
talk to your teen about social networking safety.
There are plenty of good things about social media but also many
potential dangers and things that you want the students and teens to avoid. They
don't always make the smartest choices when they post something to a site like
Facebook or YouTube, and sometimes this can lead to problems. So it's important
for parents to teach their students how to use social media wisely. People can
worry about a lot. Like everything else in this world, social media is something
that the adults in their life will get nervous about. While theres good reason for
that, its not easy for them to understand why Facebook or Twitter is such a big
deal. Social networking sites, chat rooms, virtual worlds, and blogs are how
students socialize online; it's important to help them learn how to navigate these
spaces safely. Among the pitfalls that come with online socializing are sharing too
much information or posting comments, photos, or videos that can damage a
reputation or hurt someone's feelings. Social networking sites like Facebook,
Twitter, and Foursquare have become an integral part of human life, and their use
has increased considerably over recent years. Facebook is the fastest growing
social networking site, but little research has investigated the negative outcomes
relating to the problematic use and predictors of this media phenomenon. Social
media platforms, such as Facebook, provide up-to-date, accessible and
personalized communication, yet they also have the potential to become
addictive. For those that do develop addictive symptoms, there can be serious
negative results. Such addictions can result in academic failure, sleep
deprivations, social isolation, health issues and many other impairments for
adolescents and young adults; they can also result in reduced work performance
and marital discord and separation for students.

Research Methodology
Research Design
The purpose of this study is to aware the young students from exposing to
gadgets to minimize cyber bullying in social networking sites like facebook, Twitter
and other sites and to understand the different potential dangers of cyber bullying.
For example, what major types of problems the users are facing and the feedbacks
from the users who are victimize by cyber bullying.
Participants
Instruments
The study was primarily utilized as self- designed survey questionnaire. The
questionnaire serves as the primary instrument in data gathering. The researchers
asked permission to look into solving the problem and looking some documents
gathered, the research critically analyzed the data first, to determine reliably and
second to determine the true meaning and value of the data.
The researchers of this study followed some procedures in order for them to
achieve the objectives of this work. First, they prepared a questionnaire in a form
of a checklist which covered all the variables included in their statement of the
problem. The researchers presented it to their English teacher who is Mr. Benjie
Salcedo and asked for his approval before they were finally able to reproduce
enough copies of the questionnaires intended for their respondents to answer.
Additionally, with the help of our statician Mr. Reynante Estardo the mathematics
teacher of MCFCS.

This chapter deals with the result of this study from the tabulation of the data
gathered using effective statistics treatment.
TABLE 1. Weighted mean of the Young Students Should not be Exposed to
Gadgets and they Should Understand the Different Potential Dangers of Cyber
Bullying.
This chapter deals with the presentation analysis and interpretation result
about the young students exposing to gadgets and the different potential of cyber
bullying. Students is the mostly victims of this kind of situation. Bullying in Middle
School is probably one of the hardest levels of aggression a young person has
to face. Most kids are still at the age where they do not feel the rules of society
apply to them. Adolescent girls are just as likely, if not more likely than boys to
experience cyber bullying . Cyber bullying is related to low self-esteem, suicidal
ideation, anger, frustration, and a variety of other emotional and psychological
problems. Cyber bullying is related to other issues in the real world including
school problems, anti-social behavior, substance use, and delinquency. Traditional
bullying is still more common than cyber bullying . Traditional bullying and cyber
bullying are closely related: those who are bullied at school are bullied online and
those who bully at school bully online. As kids transition from elementary to middle
school, they are increasingly the targets of cyber bullies, according to a recent
study .
But the researchers studying U.S school kids in grades 5 through 8 found
that verbal and physical bullying declines as students get older. Because bullying
patterns vary, bullying intervention and prevention strategies must address all
types of bullying as well as differences in bullying among boys and girls, the
researchers said. The study was published recently in School Psychology
Quarterly.
Although the amount of bullying decreased over time, the authors found that
it surged between fifth and sixth grade when the students in the study moved from
elementary to middle school. Overall, the study found that girls were more often
the targets of cyber bullying and verbal and relational bullying than boys. Boys,
however, were more likely to be physically bullied. Whether or not students spoke
English as a second language did not appear to have an impact on whether or not
they were bullied, the findings showed.
The study authors said schools could help prevent bullying among students
through the following strategies:
Schools and parents should also talk to students about cyber safety.
Children should be supervised when using the Internet and mobile devices
so they learn how to avoid being victimized. Any reports of bullying should
be taken seriously
The highest weighted mean presented in the table with the total of 3.73 that
shows that the parents of the students of MCFCS is aware of their child activity in
social networking sites and student shows that communication is difficult without
technological gadgets nowadays. Out of 150 students respondent there are
15.37% of student who choose strongly agree among the 16 questions that we
made, 16.23% who agreed with these 16 questions, 29.19% who choose to
answer neutral with 16 questions, 25.58% who answered disagree in 16 questions
and 13.63% who answered strongly disagree in our 16 questions.

Summary
The overriding purpose of this study was to determine the number of young
students in secondary level that is aware of harmful effect of cyber bullying in
social networking sites. To accomplish that goal it became necessary to reach
some prerequisite goals. Determining what general idea to think if it is necessary to
take such a step, then advise them to make the students aware of it.
Conclusion
Are you interested in Facebook, Myspace or twitter? These are just some of
the social networking hat are popular nowadays. Social networking hit the
mainstream when many of the social networking was launch from 2003 onward.
Currently, there are no reliable data regarding many people use social
networking ,although marketing research indicates that social networking are
growing in popularity worldwide (Comscore,2007), but what really is social
networking? These are using social web pages, which allow an individual to
construct a public profile that could because to interact with other people online. A
major component of the use of social networking is to browse other peoples profile
pages. It typically provide general biographical information, photos, statements out
ones views and interests as well as detailed description of the persons social
environment through friend lists and comments or guestbook entries. In addition,
some social networking users provide more narrative information about their lives
by maintaining weblogs embedded in their profiles. Meanwhile, some sites cater to
diverse audiences, while others attract people based on their common language or
shared racial, sexual, religious, or national-based identity. The first notable social
networking site was SixDegrees.com which allowed users to create profiles, list of
their friends and beginning in 1998, surf their friends list. With this more and more
social networking sites that involve social networking, came out until they became
a global phenomenon. As social networking become phenomenon in the status
quo, the rise of negative social effects within our society also rises. We would have
increasing instances of cyber bullying and further cases of personal fraud that
could affect not only the victims themselves but also the perpetrators and the
people surrounding them. This could also result to even more grave problems on
the victims and bullies parts. We will also see our strong ties relationships weaken
to a shallower and convenient type of affairs and conversation among teenagers
due to some issues that may hinder interpersonal skills. It could cause depression
among the individuals involved may bring traumatic experiences to them. In
addition, it could also affect privacy issues and may be crucial when it already has
become illegal. Furthermore, social networking has had a huge negative impact on
our psychological and social aspect and will continue to do so into the future if it
would not be prevented. It is also evident that social networking facilitates all these
issues and concerns. Therefore it is undeniably true that Facebook, Twitter,
MySpace, and the like do in fact cause more harm than good in our society.
Recommendations
We outline the following steps for health practitioners and believe that these
steps can prevent patients from receiving inaccurate health information and
improve the practice of health providers:
1. Create an account on Facebook, Myspace, or any online social networks
that may be relevant to your specialization and the patients you advise.
Accounts can be set up as profile pages, describing an individual, or as a
corporate or (secondary) page. A secondary account can be created in
order to keep your profile professional and public while also being able to
maintain a private life.
3. Provide information about your location, whether you are willing to receive
emails, and how often you plan to respond to their messages. Set your
profile security settings to a level according to your comfort. Provide
information about your specialty and background. It is important to set up
security settings and state your level of commitment to those who might
contact you. Taking a more active role in communication with patients via
social networking technologies (such as through multi-media posts or blog
updates) could potentially increase patients for providers who want to
expand their practice. In fact, many people report having found a health
provider or keeping in touch with their provider through online social
networks.
