Abstract
As adolescents become increasingly more dependent on technology and social media, the rates of cyberbullying have also risen drastically (Trompeter et al., 2022). The nuances and details of cyberbullying are complex, leaving many adults struggling to understand exactly what cyberbullying looks like for current adolescents. Previous research has helped provide clarity on traditional bullying and what can be done, but cyberbullying has proven to be its own unique form of social aggression. Most adolescents who engage in cyberbullying do not fit the typical profiles of victims and perpetrators – as many online perpetrators may also be victims of traditional bullying (Liang et al., 2024). This capstone provides insight into the realities of cyberbullying, the consequences of victimization and perpetration, why cyberbullying occurs, and potential interventions. It also gives tangible recommendations that can be applied for different stakeholders such as parents, teachers, counsellors, and schools.
