Facebook, and video sharing channels like YouTube. This pattern has spurred
increased reports of cyberbullying happening in these environments (Kowalski et al.
2012). Textual chat, voice chat, texting via tablets and phones also offer another
environment in which harm and hate are expressed. We can also see it happen in
newer interactive apps such as Whisper, Yik Yak, and Secret.
Numerous factors motivate perpetrators of cyber-bullying. Revenge motivates
some people to engage in cyberbullying. As a victim of cyberbullying, one tends to
think that tormenting others is natural because some individuals deserve to be
harassed (Kowalski et al. 2012). Some report that they would start to pursue new
targets which seem to be weaker than them. This is because they believe that
bullying, occasionally, is never enough. Others engage in cyberbullying to boost
their ego (Kowalski et al. 2012). Simply, these people harass others to please
themselves and their friends who are often not scared because they believe they
cannot be caught. Some people are seeking for attention. It is believed that such
people did not get attention from their family while some suffer from family
conflicts. Therefore, such people tend to starve for recognition of being powerful
figures.
Cyberbullying affects individuals from all lifestyles and any age including
adults, teens, and children; they all feel alone and distressed when being harassed
online (Kowalski et al. 2012). This behavior can make one feel completely
overwhelmed and embarrassed from what they are undergoing during such
encounters. It worsens when there is no support for the bullied person. For
children, they may feel uncomfortable to confide in their parents or adults because
they feel ashamed and think they will be ignored, judged and barred from accessing
information technologies such as their phones. For almost all victims,
cyberbullying affects their daily lives and is a continued source of worry and
distress. With the wide availability of mobile technologies, cyberbullying is an
ongoing problem and seems to be relentless. Besides proceeding after school,
university and work, it tends to carry through into the next day and this cycle
continues. Statistics reveal that cyberbullying can result in tragic events such as
self-harm and suicide, so it is important to institute measures to protect the
vulnerable adults and children from cyberbullying (Kowalski et al. 2012).
Cyberbullying poses an immense danger to society. It harms individuals and
adversely affects both the victim and the bully. It is well documented that
cyberbullying is a serious global problem and must be addressed.

ACTIVITY 5
Read the dialogue below, and then answer the question that follow.
Janna: I beg to disagree. I don’t think Facebook has ruined anybody. On the
contrary, it is a “one-stop shop” for entertainment, communication, and sharing of
information with others.
Alma: You’re wrong. Facebook is harmful and destructive. It actually promotes too
much liberal inaccurate information. Yes, it educates us, but it continues to
produce misinformation. Anyone can put information they want, either true or
untrue… and whatever the teenagers read, they will easily believe it without
conducting any research.
