is the act of using digital media to be aggressive

the victim and put them in an embarrassing situation
that could be seen by the others, family, friends or
worst, by everyone."

understanding and not to only know the student's
perception when it comes in cyberbullying but also to
raise awareness to the netizens nowadays.

students regarding cyber bullying.

unacceptable form of behavior.

D. Related Literature
• According to Willard (2004), cyber bullying can take
different forms, with the main forms ranging from
flaming, to harassment, to cyber stalking.
• Shariff (2008), states that when we define a
behavior, it is important to remember it as an action
that takes place in a particular context, at a
particular time, with various influences operating on
the individuals who take the action.
• Olweus (1993) defined bullying as “when (a student) is
exposed, repeatedly and over-time, to negative actions
on the part of one or more other students” (p. 9).
• The bully is the key player in any incident of
bullying. Research shows that bullies are typically
male, at the same age or older than their victims,
stronger than their victims, and generally hold some
level of popularity on the school campus (Chan,
2006; Coloroso, 2003; Nansel et al., 2001).
