Discussion
According to the (Anastasia., 2018) cyber bullying is the most crucial issue between youngsters
or adolescents from the last some years. The frequent use of electronic gadget such as mobile
phones, tablet, laptop and computer etc. will maximize the contribution in issue. These strategies
come from copping, fight over the internet. Teenagers are the most affected by bullying. In cyber
bullying, people are sharing private information and bully the respective. It is illegal, but nobody
wants to improve these strategies. It is increases throughout the year. It becomes a global issue
after terrorism cyber bullying affects the relationship with the countries. There are various cases
in which most school students suffered from this challenge.
As the research says, 59% of United States teens are harassed or bullied over the internet. This is
the most crucial time in which students are frustrated from their study pressure and use the
internet in a wrong manner. In the era of smart phones and social media, it brings change in the
life of an adolescent. Since they have a huge time to waste over social media and efficiently
provide their personal information to their online friends or social websites.
As per the research, teens say that they are experienced almost six kinds of abusive internet
behaviour. As per the trend, name-calling is the most popular cyber bullying. In this bullying,
teens received calls from the offensive name. In this teens face false rumours about them over
the internet.
This issue gives tension to the parents of teens; they are always worried about their child. If they
are safe or not, it is true that messaging creates a connection between people but its effects too.
Parents are also concern about sending and receiving messages over the internet.
As per the research that online harassment is the most affects the teens it affects the teen's age.

provide proper knowledge about cybercrime. Ensure them why social media is not right in the

Parents must give proper and accurate advice to keep away from social media. It will be efficient
when parents give their proper time to their children and take an interest in their life. But most of
the parent thinks that they are providing excellent education by which they are aware of this kind
of issue, but it is not to happen.
According to the recent survey that leading cyber bullying crime platform is Facebook and
twitter. The age group affected by the cyber bullying is 18- 24 and the female rate is more than
male. The most inefficient thing in this issue is people did not discuss with their parents, friends
and teacher about online harassment. In the survey there is discussion over the topic of bullying
expected bulling areas are religion, caste and races but this was false assumptions. Teens are
continuously facing harassment bullying over the internet. Girls are more targeted or
encountered by these online activities (Cybersmile., 2017).
There is a case study in which a boy Henry. She was in Sixth standard in the school. One day he
was browsing social media website, and he watched that there was someone who posted his
image with abusive caption. His friends are standing loud commenting over that, and it was
deeply affecting the boy. Henry was embarrassed in the lunchroom, playground of the schools
and became part of the fun in the school. But in his school, teachers were aware of bullying. So
the teacher stopped that case and encouraged Henry to forget everything. He took more time to
regain its confidence (Growingawareness., 2018).
As per the researcher, proper the utilisation of the resource is must learn to every individual.
Social media must block those images which might be a chance of hurting somebody feelings or
somebody thoughts. The education system must bring cyber laws, crime in their course. By
which students get aware of social activity, and it will minimise the cyber bullying issue. The
suffered individual must inform to their elders and police to protect themselves and others from
cyber bullying (Ming-Shinn Lee et al., 2013).

technology world. People minimise the internet not an appropriate solution, so its solution is to
utilise internet resource in a proper manner as the report concluded that females targeted more
and their result will be maybe suicide. According to the survey report analysed during research,
it proved that most common cyber bullying is harassment via social media messages, posting
photos or sending private information. A case study discussed in the report encourages that teens
must share about the accident and deal properly unless to do something wrong. Teacher, social
media and parents come together and fight against these bullying and protect their child as soon
as possible. It will spoil the life of an individual because it gives shame in front of friends and
