CHAPTER 1 1
INTRODUCTION
Modern technology is continuously involving, and in recent times, it has manifested itself in a
very serious social problem, namely cyber bullying. Modern technology is like a double-edge
sword; on one hant it gives us connectivity, on the other it increases emotional stress (Michel
2011). As such, young internet users, including students maybe at the mercy of cyber bullies. The
victims, under great emotional stress, are unable to concentrate on their studies, and thus their
academic progress is adversely affected (Juliana 2010). Unfortunately, little attention is given to
this global problem by institutions of higher learning, teachers, parents, and emergency service
providers. The depressive effect of cyber bullying prevents students from excelling in their
studies (Lauren 2011).
Bullying in schools and universities are causing imaginable problems to students, parents and to
educational institutions. Unfortunately, little has been done to help those victims whi are
continuously trapped in the name of modernization and digitalization (Watson 2010).
Researchers agree that the stressful impact of bullying is escalating with the rapid expansion of
technological advancement (Justine 2011). Many students who are victims of cyber bullies suffer
silently, they are reluctant to complain to the authorities or their parents owing to the social
stigma attached to victims of bullies (Susan 2011). As such, parents, teachers and institutional
authorities have to be on to look out for such occurency. This study aims to know the cyber
bullying and academic performances of the college students of NCMC. And it also aims to
answer the questions provided in the statement of the problem.
RELATED LITERATURE 2
The internet has created a new paradigm shift in communication. Today our youth are addicted
specially in using electronic communication tools. It is an undeniable fact that electronic based
communication has transformed our lives tremendously, but unfortunately, there is a dark side to
this technological and advancement. Cyber space is a potential site for violence, victimization
and oppression (Faye 2011). According to Olweus (1993), " a student is being bullied or
victimized when he or she is exposed, repeatedly an overtime, to negative actions on the part of
one or more other students". Hence, bullying is showing aggressive behaviour to a person
without any prior provocation with the intention of causing harm. It also denotes the harm is
done repeatedly overtime and there is a desparity in strength and power between the victims and
cyber criminals. Electronic bullying or cyber bullying, according to Kowalski (2011) simply
indicates using the internet to cause psychological and emotional disturbances. Olthof (2011)
defines cyber bullying as a strategic behaviour of an individual to dominate another individual or
a group of individuals. Online Oxford Dictionary defines cyber bullying as the use electronic
communication to bully a person, typically by sending messages of an intimidating or
threatening nature. Cyber bullying is defined by Wikipedia as a deliberate act of aggression using
technological advances such as internet to cause harm to a person. This aggression can be
repeated, deliberate hostility. Cyber bullying occurs "when the internet, cellphones or devices
arw used to send or put text or images intended to hurt or embarrass another person". (http://-
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/cyber-bullying). Cyber bullying causes grave harm to an individual or
group of people by exposing their personal data, real names and addresses to criminals with
malicious intent to the targeted individual or group.
Cyber bullying can include such acts as making threats, sending provocatives insults or racial
ethnic slurs, gay bashing, attempting to infect the victim's computer with a virus or flooding an
email inbox with messages (walts.com).
According to Olweus (1986, 1993) the following are some symptoms of victims of cyber
bullying:
