Part I: Introduction
Background information:
In era of industry 4.0, with the rapid growth of social networks. Every day, more than billion
people connect with each other using social media which completely changed the way people
communicate. Before people could not imagine the ability to speak to a person in another
country sitting at home, can now see a person and communicate with them as if they were
speaking directly. Today, chidren are being raised in society owned by Internet where social
media is the main tool that helps people interact with each other. There are currently 62
million social network users in Vietnam, including over 6 million Facebook and Instagram
users under the age of 18 (Vietnam youths struggle with cyberbullying - Vietnam Insider,
2019). While a great of today’s young people use online network as a good space to divide
their knowledge, image.. However, the invisible anonymity on the Internet makes people feel
emotionless and malicious. In addition, with the expansion and connection throughout the
world, it gives people the freedom to express themselves without the limits of prejudice.
On the other hand, because there is no limit on the internet, we are facing a new
way of bullying that is cyber bullying. A great of people who are mostly teenagers are being
bullied. Despite with a series of depressive scandals just because of online comment (such as
“you are so ugly” or “why you still alive”), people are still criticizing and arresting others.
This will lead to unpredictable results especially teenagers. Some youngers will become
4

school-obessed, afraid to communicate, others feel being isolated and inferiority in
themselves even become depression.
Not until those recent scandals did people start to worry about this issue. Whether
cyberbullying affects people and is it only celebrities who get? Hopefully, through this topic,
people can find out the consequences of cyber bullying as well as suggest some possible
solutions to deal with them

Rationale:
The group proceed this study because we remarked that the youth had a great deal of
problems with their network usage and don’t know how to balance it appropriately. To the
youth who have just logged on the social network more actively, they constantly need to face
up with many tough issues such as fake news, bodyshamming or stress. Hence, cyberbullying
takes place among many IBD students in particular and in general among young people. As
the quantity and popularity of social networking continues to soar, so do the opportunities for
the misuse of technology. Because of this, cyberbullying is a phenomenon that is drastically
increasing in prevalence. This issue has led to many negative impacts. Especially, this
actuality causes pressure in student and also creates poor academic performance in students
even the long-term psychological effects lead to depression and suicide.
We have specified to research about “cyberbullying” with an aspiration to change the minds
of students in IBD, assist them understand more about this serious problem. This research
will not only give many students in IBD some remedy to grasp their emotions, but also help
us make out a great of knowledges.
In this study, we will investigate the cyberbullying trend of IBD students. By and large, it
attempts to:
The real situation about cyberbullying among IBD students
Reasons
Effects
Some solutions to diminish this problem
