Subject: Preventing Cyberbullying
This report provides a brief insight into cyberbullying, its effects and ways to prevent it.
My research indicates that cyberbullying is an unlawful practice that can lead a person to cause
serious harm to themselves or others. Consequently, the report provides a number of methods
that can help prevent cyberbullying or at the very least reduce its impact on a victim.
1. Parents should be proactive in understanding the need for preventing cyberbullying.
2. Healthcare providers are very much aware of the negative outcomes of
cyberbullying. Therefore, they can act as a motivator for victims of cyberbullying and
urge them not to take any drastic steps.
3. Cyberbullying is a crime and therefore, must be reported.
4. Often, victims of cyberbullying feel like the whole world are against them.
Consequently, they should be made aware that they are not alone. Communication is
the key
My research was completed using a number of peer-reviewed resources available at Humber
library database. However, due to the complexity of the subject matter, it only covers a small
part of the issue.
Thank you for reviewing the report and providing feedback about my research.

Executive Summary

The purpose of this report is to identify ways to prevent cyberbullying. However, in order to
prevent something a person must know what that thing is and the ways it is done. Therefore, the

1. Identification of cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is a relatively new phenomenon,
and some people may not be aware of its impact.

many of its victims display suicidal tendencies.
3. Cyberbullying tactics. Cyberbullying is a general term. We need to be aware of
its most common and damaging ways, in order to know how to fight it.
4. Prevention of cyberbullying. The report covers a number of ways cyberbullying
can be prevented: talking to the victims, raising awareness in parents, showing
the importance of reporting cyberbullying, and imploring healthcare
professionals.
