The Effects of Cyberbullying on Students and Schools
Beghin, Hannah
BU Journal of Graduate Studies in Education, v12 n2 p19-22 2020
Cyberbullying is a problem that affects students and schools. As more children and adolescents have contact with devices, the likelihood of cyberbullying has become more prevalent. Cyberbullying affects the learning of children within class, as the students become self-conscious or distracted. Schools should have clear directives for taking cyberbullying action, and should support professional development for teachers so they can learn what they can do to when dealing with cyberbullying in their classrooms. To reduce cyberbullying, classrooms should celebrate and support student diversities, and students should be taught about how to be caring when interacting with others online.
