The Effects of Cyberbullying on Students and Schools
Hannah Beghin
Cyberbullying is a big problem that affects students and schools, and it has to be solved. It's a
type of bullying that takes through via email, text, direct messaging, public remarks, and photo sharing.
Because of the accessibility of technology that can convey information to anybody with access to it,
cyberbullying is becoming more widespread as technology improves. As more children and teens use
gadgets, the risk of cyberbullying will rise. Because cyberbullying may harm students' self-esteem,
mental health, sleep patterns, weight gain, and other negative impacts, school administrators should
acknowledge the need to promote awareness about cyberbullying and its implications. Teachers must
address cyberbullying in the classroom by teaching proper behaviors and responding to inappropriate
bullying conduct. Because cyberbullying causes students to become distracted and unable to
concentrate in class, school officials make every effort to keep the school environment free of
cyberbullying by having clear standards for dealing with cyberbullying and guiding students on how to
deal with their online behaviors.
Educators should educate students on proper and resilient actions to prevent them from
engaging in cyberbullying. Students who learn that violence may solve their problems and believe they
are superior to others are more likely to engage in cyberbullying activities. Schools and teachers should
work with students to help them understand how to avoid participating in cyberbullying. Because
students are seeking to discover their place in society, they tend to connect with classmates who are
similar to them. They must learn to tolerate differences in others and understand that others have
similar feelings to them. As a result, classrooms and schools must evolve into environments that
welcome a diverse range of students and ideas. Student diversities, therefore, are integrated within
classrooms so that students learn how to maintain healthy and diverse peer relationships. Cyberbullying
is less common when students are more accepting of others.
Considering cyberbullying is not a criminal offense in many areas and is unlikely to become a
huge problem, teachers and schools can develop strategies to handle cyber bullying issues. Teachers
complain that present cyberbullying guidelines are unclear, and they are confused about how to handle
cyberbullying accusations. School administrators should guarantee that clear cyberbullying directives are
in place for teachers to follow. Students will regard their teachers as unhelpful sources and distrust
them if teachers are confused about how to handle a cyberbullying problem at school, resulting in a
school environment that is neither nurturing nor safe for children. Schools should support teachers'
efforts and give recommendations on how to deal with a cyberbully activity. Kindness, compassion, and
basic communication skills should be taught to all students in an inclusive and supportive school.
Children who are taught from a young age that everyone deserves to be treated with respect are less
likely to engage in future cyberbullying.
