inflicted cyberbullying.
In order for society to progress
and prevent bullying, the people who
use online networking and high-tech
devices — nearly everyone — must
recognize that there is a problem and
focus on the intensifying relationship
between the growing prominence of
technology in teenagers’ everyday
lives and technology’s psychological
influence on teenagers’ reasoning.
Factors, such as time online,
parental control, and emotional
prioritization to gadgets with social
networking conveniences, affect
how teenagers reason and choose to
handle cyberbullying.
Today’s new and innovative
methods to share, present, and com-
municate ideas parallel the evolving
technology rapidly becoming availa-
ble to the public. The issue of cyber-
bullying remains a psychologically
detrimental affliction, especially in
this transitional time period toward a
growing high-tech society.
Teenagers spend more time en-
gaged on mobile devices and social
networking websites compared to
time spent online four years ago.
Due to the upsurge in occupied time
online, more moderate parental
monitoring, and the emotional con-
nection to high-tech gadgets, the
advancing cyber world allows for an
inattentive and neglectful sense of
detachment when bullying occurs to
the effect where the bully does not
deliberate or feel bothered by the
potential consequences. The very
nature of comprehending and con-
trolling technology serves as the
psychological barrier which gives
reason for the victim to endure the
Over 60 percent of 11
to 18 year olds admit to
being ―very‖ or ―quite‖
obsessed to the Internet,
as found in research
conducted by
Cransfield School of
Management.
A colossal survey, conducted by Time magazine, as reported in 2012,
which examined 5,000 Americans, Chinese, Indians, Britons,
South Koreans, South Africans, Indonesians, and Brazilians,
revealed:
20 percent of respondents check their phone every 10 minutes.
84 percent could not go a single day without their cellphones.
50 percent of Americans sleep with their phone next to them
like a teddy bear or a spouse, a number that
includes more than 80 percent of 18-24 year olds.

Briefing: Accessibility and Parents Any young person
can text, set up an email,
Facebook, blog, Twitter,
MySpace, or any other
type of social networking
account. Setting up an
account is usually a fast
and easy process. Those
who make accounts
bargain their rights and
themselves to the
common online risk of
cyberbullying.
This includes the
power to share their per-
sonal lives with, phenom-
enally, the entire cyber
world, the psychological
stimulation of being
online, the anonymity, as
well as the augmented
chances of involvement
in cyberbullying, due to
the extensive time spent
online. Since almost all
of America’s teens go
online and own cell-
phones, with the promi-
nent escalation of occu-
pied time online, teens
are more susceptible to
cyberbullying today than
ever before.
About 34 percent of
parents check their
child’s social network
sites. Research by Taylor
Thomas reveals 67 per-
cent of teenagers know
how to block want they
want to hide from their
parents online.
About 20 percent of
kids think their parents
have no idea what they
are doing online, regard-
less of the existing Face-
book parental controls,
which can be unlocked.

ing notion of what ap-
pears to be parental ab-

tainable social network-
ing world emboldens

Although a horrible
cruelty and an illegal
offense in several
states of America so
far, cyberbullying does
not appear to be a di-
minishing problem
among young people. According to the US
Department of Health
and Human Services,
52 percent of teens do
not tell their parents
when cyberbullying
occurs.

websites, mobile com-

in general have
evolved into growing
necessities, integrated
into daily life by the
rising young genera-

As the cyber world
continues to release

realize ―those who can-

there may be nothing

having a sense of pos-

young people, and
adults alike, must
proceed with caution,
control, and sensitivity
when online.
