THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Introduction

There are many teens in today's generation who are witnessing

cyberbullying. Many teenagers who have already witnessed cyberbullying are

now traumatized because they can't bear the embarrassing feeling they've been

feeling.

Cyberbullying is the stalking that is taking place in our gadgets.

Cyberbullying is one of the most common causes of depression that can lead to

suicide. Cyberbullying is one of the current biggest issues, and most of the

victims are adolescents. Many individuals use their social media to threaten

others, resulting in victims hurting themselves.

In addition, for some reason, people have always found it

reassuring to bring down other people, even though the remarks they make are

mean and hurtful. 73% of students believe that they have been bullied in their

lifetime.

According to Lardizabal-Dado N.(2019) that every 40 seconds

someone dies of suicide. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that

close to 800 000 people died by suicide every year, which is one person every

40 seconds. There are different articles that talk about suicide in social

media news feeds or private group chats. The phrases “died of suicide” or “died

iv
by suicide” as neutral ways to explain the death. These phrases replace

“committed suicide” or “completed suicide.”

As studied by Ditch the Label, people mostly get cyberbullied on

social media sites, instagram with 42 percent, Facebook with 37 percent,

Snapchat with 31 percent, and others. Girls are more likely than boys to be the

target of cyberbullying. And most of the time, too, they're not only witnessing

cyberbullying, but also being harassed in person.

Cyberbullying can be one of the major causes of teenage suicide rates.

And if a person experiences cyberbullying, it can cause depression and it can

lead to suicidal depression. Teenagers are the common people who are

experiencing cyberbullying because the teenagers are the ones who are still

involved in their social life.

Moreover, cyberbullying is one of the main problems of teenagers

nowadays, because most of the teens are focusing on their social media, that

they didn’t notice that their lives are being so showy in public. And also because

of that many teenagers are experiencing cyberbullying either in small or big

things, and it leads to suicide. That is why the case of cyberbullying in society

are increasingly more often. Instead of focusing on other things, they can’t

because of the pandemic.

Furthermore, because the lives of teenagers are now so open to others,

many people are gossiping about their issues in life and some of them are

1
giving a wrong conclusion and because of that, they are being more depressed.

Everyone knows that depression is no joke. Because once a person may

experience depression most of the time it leads to suicide because of our

negative mindset.

There is no alternative to becoming a cyber bully victim. No matter

what a person's age is, anyone can experience it. Depending on their age, it

might be distinct from experience, but it has the same effect. Gender on

cyberbullying has sought to establish which gender is more involved in

cyberbullying. The mental health of a person was affected by the cyberbully. A

person that is the victim of cyberbully is associated with different psychological

illnesses such as depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. Also, affect their

academic performance and socializing with other people due to their low self-

esteem.

Teenagers in Lipa City are always active on their social media

especially on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Here is where they can

experience cyberbullying. The more they focus on their social media, the more

they could experience or seen cyberbullying.

Also, in Lipa City, almost every year and especially last year, suicidal rates

are increasing because of cyberbullying. Because everyone can’t go out in their

houses they are spending time more on social media and many people can’t

understand our situation that’s why they are giving their opinions that

sometimes are not good and it can cause depression to someone who doesn’t

4
have a strong personality to carry the opinions of others that’s why they are

getting depressed and let their selves to end their lives.

This study aims to educate others about the impact of cyberbullying

on teenage suicide rates. And also to know what the consequences of one

person's experience of cyberbullying could be. To know what could be the

future repercussions that the perpetrator and the human rights advocate could

face. Also, to share with others what are the views when it comes to

cyberbullying and to know about the consequences of cyberbullying that it is a

current significant issue.

This study investigates the effects of cyberbully on suicidal rates.

The researcher wants to know what could do if there is someone that having or

experiencing depression because of cyberbullying. To study the different

experience of cyberbully that leads to suicidal ideation. To know what kind of

help should be done so he/she can fight the depression and can prevent

suicide.

Researchers are doing this research first so that students can learn

about the effects of cyberbullying on individuals. Second, must inform everyone

about the importance of treating cyberbullying as a serious issue in our culture,

since most victims of cyberbullying are not mentally or emotionally powerful

enough to combat the problem.

4
 The researcher also wanted to know what methods could be used to stop

or avoid cyberbullying in a person. To know if their mental health was stable

and how they were dealing with the impact of cyberbullying on them.

Furthermore, the researchers decided to inspire cyberbullying victims to

have a positive personality when coping with bullies. And it is the only way to

keep them from falling into a depression that could lead to suicidal ideation.

5
 Conceptual Framework

In this section, this will show the conceptual paradiagram to present

the figure of the study.

Figure 1: The Conceptual Framework for The Effects of Cyberbully on the

Suicidal Rates of Teenagers.

6
 The conceptual framework is the representation of the Effects of

cyberbullying on the Suicidal Rates of Teenagers: Cyberbullying done through

the use of technology or any electronic means. Cyberbullied teenagers

experience all kinds and effects like anxiety, fear, depression, and low self-

esteem, etc. They may also experience physical symptoms like having low

energy, headaches, insomnia, chest pain, and rapid heartbeat, etc. This conduct

results in harassment, intimidation, or humiliation through the use of any forms of

technology, such as texting, chatting, etc. Cyberbullying also experiences some

unique consequences and negative feelings. The dependent variables are

engagement in cyberbullying and becoming victims of cyber victimization. The

dependent variables are "The Effects of Cyberbullying". The independent

variable is "On the suicidal rates".

The first part of the figure shows that there is a connection between the

profile of the respondents and the current problem, cyberbullying. The relation

between these two is that the profile of the respondents can cause cyberbullying,

due to their appearance. The second phase of the figure shows the possible

effects that the victims might encounter due to being a victim of cyberbullying.

The third part of the figure shows the connections of these possible effects to the

suicidal rates of teenagers. This is because, these

effects are the most common reasons for depression, which eventually leads to

suicide. The last part of the figure shows how these aspects affect the suicidal

rate of teenagers

7
Theoretical Framework

This research was based on the study of Carol Chu (2017), which

they call the “interpersonal theory of suicide”. This theory states that suicidal

desires are caused by individuals with feelings of perceived burdensomeness or

hopelessness. Suicidal behaviors are caused by suicidal desires and make a

person capable of suicide. They said that suicidal behavior is a major problem

worldwide. When this happens, we better watch their backs. We should always

keep an eye on our family and friends. We will never know if they are going

through something because we all know that we're great pretenders.

We people want to feel belonged. When unmet, this can lead to

depression, suicidal thoughts, attempts, or self-harm. Loneliness can drive us

crazy and can destroy the way we think of our mental thinking. Simply, the

absence of care for us can give us anxiety, and anxiety can be a reason for

suicides. Just like cyberbullying, people can embarrass us and make us feel

anxious, this can also bring our self-esteem down. With these mindsets, our

academic performances can be affected. Our once "productive" self can turn into

someone who doesn't care anymore. We should always take care of our mental

health. When being cyberbullied, we tend to think that people don't like us

anymore or people don't want to be friends with us anymore because of the

humiliation that they gave us.

8
 Our study is about the effects of cyberbullying on suicidal rates of

teenagers in our locale. The additional information in this theory/study can help

us know and educate ourselves on the reasons for suicide or attempted suicide.

We can easily connect this to cyberbullying since the keywords (perceived

burdensomeness, hopelessness, capable of suicide, thwarted belongingness) in

this study is relatable to our topic. We all know how cyberbullying affects us as a

person. Connecting all the lines can lead us to a solution that can maybe help us

in future studies or research.

The suicidal rates of teenagers in our locale can be connected to

cyberbullying since this can affect the way we’re thinking. We will never know

what goes on inside each other’s minds and this is where our study comes in.

Basically, our study is about how to prevent cyberbullying and suicide, plus

knowing the thoughts of other people towards our topic. Knowing their thoughts

with this will be a great help in analyzing our study deeper. Other’s opinions will

be appreciated and will be part of our research. The thoughts of other people

plus the theory that we are based on will play a big part in our study. We will

connect the information from the interpersonal theory of suicide and the gathered

information from interviewing others.

9
Statement of the Problem

This study is entitled " The Effects of Cyberbully on the Suicidal Rates of

Teenagers in Lipa City, Batangas 2020-2021". It aims to investigate the

association of the two variables which includes the suicidal rates.

Specifically, the study will answer the following question:

Statement of the Problem

1. What is the profile of the respondents when grouped according to:

1.1 Age;

1.2 Gender;

1.3 Socioeconomic Status; and

1.4 Mental Health Condition?

2. What are the effects of cyberbullying on the suicidal rates of

teenagers identified in Lipa City the study when grouped in terms of?

2.1 Age;

2.2 Gender;

2.3 Socioeconomic Status; and

2.4 Mental Health Condition?

3. How do the respondents describe the effects of cyberbullying on

suicidal rates?

4. Is there a significant difference in the effects of cyberbullying on the

suicidal rates identified by the selected millennial when grouped according to

profile variables?

10
 5. Based on the findings gathered, what interval practices should be

done to lessen the suicidal rates among the cyberbullied teenagers?

Significant of the Study

The findings of this study will benefit the teenagers that have experienced

being cyberbullied considering that this research plays an important role in their

social life. Thus, teenagers that apply the recommended research derived from

the results of this study will be able to train teenagers to reduce bullying.

The Students

This group may use this study to be aware of cyberbullying. Even life is

struggling because of economic problems, they are still sent to school to learn by

their parent, thus students that apply the recommended approach will be able to

help them gain more knowledge on how to face cyberbullying.

The Parents

The research benefits the parents of children with special needs. Using

this research parents can educate their children more about the internet/social

media and tell them to be more responsible when they enter the internet.

11
The Future Researcher

The study will help them uncover critical areas in the process of reducing

bullying that many researchers were not able to explore. The results of the study

will benefit the following: This study will benefit the teenagers that experience

cyberbullying that can cause depression. Through this research, teenagers can

help them counter this situation to reduce bullying and to let them discover that it

is not appropriate to attempt suicide.

Scope, Limitation, and Delimitation of the Study

This study is limited in focusing only on the effects of cyberbully on the

suicidal rates of teenagers the other unrelated aspect such as other mental

health like eating disorders, paranoia, etc., spiritual is also excluded in this study.

The respondents comprised of the teenagers in Lipa City, Batangas. The number

of respondents is 100. Researchers came up with these numbers in the process

where investigators select a simple random sample of 100 teenagers in the Lipa

City, Batangas in the year 2020-2021. Each of the respondents will be given a

questionnaire to answer.

12
Definition of Terms

To better understand the study, the following terms are defined

theoretically and operationally.

Anxiety

- Anxiety is the body's natural reaction to stress. It is anxiety or uncertainty

of what is to come, (Timothy J. Legg, Ph.D., CRNP,2020). In this study, it

pertains to our mental health. It refers to the mental effects of cyberbullying.

Cyberbullying

- a violent, deliberate act or action committed by a group or a person using

electronic means of communication against a victim who cannot easily defend

himself or herself, repeated and over time ( Moreno,2014). In this study, it refers

to the form of bullying or harassment who is commonly victim is teenagers.

Depression

-Depression is a mood disorder that involves a persistent feeling

13
Self-harm

- Self-harm or self-injury means hurting yourself on purpose. One common

method is cutting with a sharp object (NAMI,2021). In this study, it refers to the

person that can’t handle too much depression.

Self-esteem

-used to describe a person's overall subjective sense of personal worth or

value. In other words, self-esteem may be defined as how much you appreciate

and like yourself regardless of the circumstances (Cherry, 2021). In this study, it

refers to the person who has low confidence and mostly not having interaction

with other people it harms mental health.

Suicidal ideation

-means wanting to take your own life or thinking about suicide (Purse,

2020). In this study, it refers to the mental behavior of the person experiencing

cyberbully.

 CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

This chapter includes the review of related literature and studies

specifically the local and foreign section which the researchers have perused to

shed light on the topic under study. The following are the articles, academic

journals, theories, and findings that will fill the gaps of this study.

Effects of Cyberbullying

According to Ruth Festl, Michael Scharkow, and Thorsten Quandt (2015),

This study focuses on the relevance of social control to understand cyber-

bullying experiences among German high school students. Social impact is

explored in the sense of computer-based communication. Using multi-level

modeling, they found that school-class characteristics only contributed to the

likelihood of cyberbullying to a limited degree. Even, the pro-cyberbullying norms

in the classroom increased the likelihood of perpetration and victimization for

students, even more than their individual beliefs. Previous encounters of

harassment and intense, unregulated use of the Internet have been the best

predictors of cyber-bullying participation.

Their research focuses on the importance of social control to the

understanding of cyber-bullying interactions among German high schools. Since,

as we all know, high school students are the most victim of cyberbullying. They

15
believe that the most common cause of cyberbullying is the misuse of the

Internet and its social media.

According to Karen Slovak and Jonathan B. Singer (2011), while

cyberbullying is a growing problem among students, parents, and school staff,

there has been little study at elementary, middle, and high school levels to

explore their perceptions of the seriousness and extent of the issue and their

responses to it. Results suggest that SSWs at all levels agree that cyberbullying

can cause psychological damage, including suicide, and should be discussed by

SSWs. However, almost half of the respondents claimed that they were not

prepared to deal with cyberbullying. Middle School SSW reports of seriousness

were substantially higher than those of elementary SSWs. Pervasive

cyberbullying is substantially lower at the elementary level than at the middle and

high school levels. There were no substantial differences in perceptions of the

responses to this issue among SSWs at all three levels. The implications of

school social work are explored.

They conducted a small survey of students, which showed that most

students are experiencing cyberbullying and that it causes psychological harm,

including suicide. Parents sometimes underestimate the extent to which their

children participate in dangerous online behaviors such as cyberbullying,

disturbing interactions with strangers, and exposure to sexual material. This

research seeks to establish the underlying predictors of such parental

misconceptions. A national sample survey (nonrandom) of 456 matched parent-

16
child pairs found that a permissive parenting style, difficulty in communicating

online threats, and household environmental variables such as access to private

computing play a role in underestimating the dangerous social experiences that

their children encounter and experience online. The implications for scholars and

careers are explored.

Much of the time, our parents didn't realize we were going through

cyberbully. We can't tell them because we're afraid of the outcome of our

decision. That's why we keep things on our own. Even though it might put us in

danger, we still prefer to be quiet and let ourselves deal with the issue, Sahara

Byrne (2014).

According to Soeyon Kim because of social media, there have a lot of

people victims of cyberbullying. There's a study about cyberbullying and

adolescent mental health problems. Cyberbullying has more strongly associated

with emotional problems for females and with behavior problems for males.

According to Christopher J. Cocal (2018), cyberbullying is when a child or

a teenager is verbally harassed, humiliated through the web, embarrassed,

threatened, or tormented through the use of social media platforms. The core

activities of cyberbullying are not new but the manner that they are being carried

out has increased. It can happen by a distribution of images of private

conversations of someone or embarrassing videos/photos. This has been a

problem amongst youth in the last decade. Cyberbullying can also take the form

of some illegal physical activities and unlawful behavior. The internet is the place

17
where cyberbullying is most common. Social media sites like Facebook, Twitter,

and Instagram, to name a few are the most common sites for cyberbullying.

Cyberbullying can also happen in online games, like trash-talking. Most

cyberbullies think that bullying others online is funny and entertaining. They don’t

realize the consequences that they could face in the future. Cyberbullying can

happen anytime and anywhere on the internet. When people envy you, they tend

to bring you down. This article explained what cyberbullying is. The internet isn't

a safe place but it can be entertaining.

According to Shella Guevara Witkus (2021), cyberbullying is a form of

bullying that uses electronic media. The purpose of their study is to examine

bullying among Filipino Visayan adolescents in the Philippines. Giving out

surveys for 579 participants they've found put that with this information, they can

help out educators, administrators, and even students address the people who

are bullies problems. While conducting their research they've realized that they

needed to dig deep into this to understand the phenomenon. Having more

information can help them think of more coping strategies or even end

cyberbullying.

In today's digital society, social media plays an important role. It plays an

important role in the wireless community's distribution of knowledge and events.

Social networking allows you to interact with people from all over the world,

regardless of location or time. Most notably, social media is used for socializing,

18
enabling people to engage in discussions and online dialogues without having to

interact in person, Vargas et.al, (2018).

Their research is based on the modern technology it easy for users to post

a message destroying the reputation of other social media users that harassing a

user over instant messaging, posting a picture without the permission of the user,

or even false rumors.

Student bullying a teacher is a problem that has received the least amount

of scrutiny and emphasis since the perpetrators are seen as the academe itself.

The aim of this descriptive study is to evaluate students' understanding and

actions toward teacher bullying in a higher education institution, Asio(2019).

This research is based on students bullying a teacher and their behavior

towards teacher bullying by students is slightly inappropriate. Significant findings

were found when the variables were grouped according to the year level and the

department. This descriptive study aims to determine the understanding and

behavior of students in a higher education institution towards teacher bullying.

The increased availability of the internet has resulted in highly beneficial

outcomes for the general public, such as significant improvements in the way

people interact, changes in the way work is done, and the ability to do more, with

increased productivity and effectiveness in less time and expense, especially

among the working sector of society, Gonzales(2014).

19
 This research is based on findings indicated that social media can be used

to do massive information dissemination to encourage people to make

themselves aware of the possible impact and consequences of using social

media. This research aims to a finding of indicated that social media can be used

to do massive information dissemination to encourage people to make

themselves aware of the possible impact and consequences of using social

media.

Effects of Cyberbullying in Suicidal Rates

According to Laura Marciano (2020), Cyberbullying

perpetration(CP) and Victimization (CV) problems are prominent in teenage

growth. The previous meta-analysis, however, was based only on cross-section

results. The goal of this research is to meta-analytically summarize 56

longitudinal studies of CP, CV, and related factors in children and adolescents.

Forty meta-analyses of CP and CV as both predictors and human-related

outcomes, Activity linked to the Internet, and contextual factors were identified.

Additional moderator analyzes took into account the nature of the analysis, the

participant population, and the accuracy of the studies. Results demonstrate the

reciprocal longitudinal effects between CP, CV, and both conventional

harassment and victimization: CP causes problem externalizing habits over time,

while CV is a risk factor for internalizing problems Including depression and

anxiety. Conversely, behavioral problems and increased Internet usage predict

CP participation, while depression, anxiety, and Internet use often predict CV

20
over time. A further longitudinal study is required to provide empirical data on

understudied concepts.

Cyberbullying is the most common concern in the teen ages. And when

they're in their puberty there's a lot going on in their lives. They are at the stage

of adolescent development, and at this stage of their lives, they have the highest

level of internet interaction. That's why they have the most victims of

cyberbullying.

According to Mitch van Geel (2014), Bullying and suicide studies usually

use either suicidal ideation or suicide attempts as an outcome test. Suicide

ideation can be described as thoughts or wishes to end one's life and is seen as

a path to suicide, whereas suicide attempt refers to non-fatal incidents in most

studies. Some existing research concentrates on cyberbullying; while there are

few studies focused on the relationship between cyberbullying and suicidal

ideation, the findings indicate that cyberbullying is as closely linked to suicidal

ideation as conventional harassment. Most peer victimization and suicide

research have used self-reporting. The use of a single informant, as opposed to

the use of multiple informants, can lead to exaggerated effect sizes. In this

analysis, we checked whether the magnitude of the effects between harassment

and suicide is greater for studies using only self-reports than for studies using

multiple informants.

21
 Teenagers commonly have suicidal ideations when they are depressed.

Most of all, as they face their own problems. Nowadays, people are more

focused on their social media, which makes them cyber-bullied.

According to SheriBauman (2013), This research investigated the

relationships between depression, suicidal activity, and the perceptions of

harassment and victimization in 1491 high school students using data from the

2009 Youth Risk Behavior Survey. Results have shown that depression mediates

the relationship between harassment/victimization and suicide attempts, but

differently for males and females. In particular, depression mediated the

connection between conventional victimization and suicide attempts equally

across gender, while depression mediated the link between cyber victimization

and female suicide attempts. Similarly, depression mediated the connection

between conventional harassment and female suicide attempts. Depression did

not mediate the connection between cyberbullying and gender-based suicide

attempts. Implications of results are addressed, including the significance of

greater detection of depression among students engaged in harassment, and the

need for suicide prevention and intervention aspect of anti-bullying programs.

Findings indicate that attempts to avoid harassment should be expanded from

middle school students to high school students.

In this study, they discovered that the majority of an adolescent who has

been victims of cyberbullying are females, and we all know that females are more

emotional than males. Females can't always regulate their impulses, which is

22
why when they become victims of cyberbullying, they always do something, even

though they don't want to. Suicidal ideation is one example.

According to Lorenita T. Celeste (2019), bullying can have serious

effects on the well-being of an individual. The purpose of their study is to keep

and maintain a normal state of well-being and enhance their academic

performances. They've come up with coping strategies to share with the

students. Although it said cyberbullying is the least experienced bullying in this

stated year, it is only because we still had face-to-face classes in 2019. They

stated that some students who experienced bullying don't affect their academic

performance instead becoming bullies themselves. They maybe seek revenge for

the ones who bullied them. Some people can rebel towards someone who broke

them. Cyberbullying can be or is unhealthy to someone who's experiencing it. As

I said, it can really mess up the way you think. Having dark thoughts in your mind

isn't a healthy mindset. People get through their problems by different coping

strategies. Through this pandemic, I can say that cyberbullying can happen often

since we have online classes.

According to Sammer Hinduja & Justin W. Patchin (2010), this study was

to give out coping strategies for first-year nursing students. They said that 75 out

of 155 nursing students have experienced bullying, either verbally, physically,

and cyber. Students have both positive and negative coping strategies, this

includes self-calming coping. They've recommended having programs or

seminars about the anti-bullying campaign. They suggest that parents should

23
also take part to support their offsprings. This will be a lot easier for students to

maintain their mental health stable because having someone to talk to or to listen

to you is always a good thing. Having programs that help people cope with their

problems can be a great help. A simple "How are you?" can make a person's day

happy or just as simple as someone to talk to. We all need someone that listens

to our rants to loosen up ourselves

According to Esperanza Balatbat (2014), there are a lot of students who

experienced bullying in Baliuag University High School. Both boys and girls have

experienced cyberbullying like teasing, using foul words, and calling hurtful

names. They have this journal to find out the frequency of bullying acts inside

their campus. With their results, they’ve also found out what the students feel and

think of their experience. With the information of how often does cyberbully

happens in their school, they share coping strategies with the students to help

them with their situation. I feel bad for those who experienced this situation they

really don't deserve it. We all should just mind our own business and not interfere

with anyone's life by making it worse.

Effects of Cyberbullying in Socioeconomics

According to Melissa Wells (2018), This research explores how

youth with various forms of disability, mental health diagnosis, and special

education services experience victimization of peer abuse (PHV). This study

explores how these young people encounter harassment that happens only in

24
person, only through technology, and both in-person and through technology

('mixed'). Data were collected as part of the Technology Harassment

Victimization Report, a U.S. telephone survey of 791 youth aged 10 to 20.

Results suggest that, relative to youth not reporting peer harassment, youth

struggling with depression were more likely to report mixed-mode peer

harassment, youth with physical disabilities were more likely to report

technology-based harassment, and youth with learning disabilities were more

likely to witness abuse in-person. The type of impairment, diagnosis, or special

service among young people can be associated with particular vulnerabilities in

the context of peer harassment experiences. School social workers and other

school staff should identify particular types of disabilities in the assessment of

PHV risks and in the preparation of interventions.

There are many teenagers who have been victims of cyberbullying,

either in their schools or in their homes, and most teenagers use their social

media anywhere, so they can encounter it anywhere they go at any time.

According to Sally I. Maximo (2014), being a bully, victim, or bully-victim is

related to parental guidance. Your behavior can depend on how your parent’s

discipline is and how they treat you. Lack of attention from parents can result in

finding attention through bullying. If your parents don't give you a lot of attention,

you tend to find attention online. It can be through humiliating other people for

other people's entertainment. This isn't the right way to beg for attention.

Humiliating others isn't right at all.

25
 According to Ronald Velasquez (2010), this article describes bullies and

victims. Both the bully and victim can be emotionally stable, however, bullies can

be more dominant since victims are usually scared of them. Victims are passive

and submissive and can be sensitive. The bully can also have problems either at

home or at school and they cope with it by bullying others. This is one of the

reasons why we should always listen to both sides of the problem.

According to Evelyn S. Sanchez (2019), this article has a program to offer

to transform bullies into someone better. Having bullies in school can affect or

give a negative impact on the students and their performances. They focus on

the bullies and hope that they can shape bullies and their behavior. They hope to

lead them on the right track. This program can be a great help to bullies who

want to change but can't because bullying turned into a habit of theirs. Changing

a bully can be a great achievement because it may be rare to find bullies who

change for the better.

Effects of Cyberbullying in Mental Health

According to Charisse L Nixon (2014), Cyberbullying has become

an international public health issue among teenagers and, as such, needs further

research. This paper examines existing literature on the impact of cyberbullying

on adolescent health through various studies worldwide and offers guidance for

future study. An analysis of the evidence indicates that cyberbullying presents a

danger to adolescents' health and well-being. Teenagers who are targeted by

26
cyberbullying show increased depressive effects, anxiety, loneliness, suicidal

thoughts, and somatic symptoms. Cyberbullying perpetrators are more likely to

show increased substance use, aggression, and delinquent behaviors.

Mediating/moderating mechanisms have been identified to affect the relationship

between cyberbullying and adolescent well-being.

We are also mindful that we cannot foresee when cyberbullying will

occur. We just don't know who will be the bully and who will be the bullied. That

is why researchers are conducting several studies to avoid cyberbullying before it

affects your mental health.

According to JuliaBrailovskaia (2018), Cyberbullying is correlated with

suicidal ideation/behavior daily. The present research examined whether good

mental well-being, i.e. high levels of emotional, cognitive, and psychological well-

being, undermines the correlation between cyberbullying and suicidal

ideation/behavior. A total of 225 students completed cyberbullying suicidal

ideation/behavior, and constructive mental health interventions. Positive mental

wellbeing has thoroughly mediated the connection between cyberbullying and

suicidal ideation/behavior. Positive mental wellbeing seems to confer stability and

should be taken into account in clinical and preventive services for students.

According to Justin W. Patching, there's have high-profile cases that have

demonstrated suicidal ideation. Also, the ones who victims of cyberbullying are

the who have a more suicidal thought because of peer aggression.

27
 According to Jude L. Tayben (2015), they aim for a bully-free

environment. They’ve described the types, sources, and frequency of bullying

behaviors that affected the nursing students in their school. They’ve found out

the bullying poisons academic settings wherein it affects the student’s

performance in class. These people need serious attention so we can keep

stable mental health. They keep a bully-free environment for students who want

to keep their academic performances positive. People who want to finish school

with good grades but are affected by cyberbullying aren't a good sign. We all

want a good education for our students and we want them to finish with honors,

with this environment we can make it happen.

According to Joanna Rodessa R. Capilitan (2015), this article studies

what’s the relationship between school bullying and a sense of belonging and

security. You can relate bullying to a sense of belonging and security. Spreading

out the information one by one, we can get an idea of how it connects since

usually, their mindset is about how bullying makes you look cool and being cool

means you belong in a group. We all want belongingness or the feeling of being

belonged in a group. Some people think cyberbullying is a cool way to make

people like you or be scared of you.

According to Jerome A. Ouano (2013), his article measures how often do

students experience bullying. Parents, teachers, school administrators,

counselors, and psychologists are concerned about bullying in school and how it

affects the students. Students have experienced verbal bullying, physical

28
bullying, and cyberbullying. They have PECK or The Personal Experience

Checklist to dive deeper into their study and to find a solution to their problem.

Informing parents to keep an eye on their children can maybe help lessen

cyberbullying.

Cyberbullying, a form of bullying that occurs by the use of electronic

media, is a worldwide epidemic. The disparity between the advancement of

electronic devices and the scarcity of empirical evidence of study between

developed and developing countries indicates that further research is needed to

comprehend this phenomenon, Wikus(2012).

This research is based on the gap between the advancement of

electronic devices and the death of empirical evidence of study between

developed and underdeveloped countries suggest that more research is needed

to understand this phenomenon. The purpose of this study wag to examine

cyberbullying experiences among Filipino Visaya adolescents in the Philippines.

Research Literature

Most of the studies about cyberbullying discuss the different effects

on the victims. As time goes by cyberbullying becomes an international public

health issue among teenagers.

According to Mirsky & Omar, (2015) when a cyberbully attacks his or her

victim, the harm is done with the intent of making the victim feel miserable,

humiliated, and worthless. Their victims are often depressed as their self-esteem

29
declines. There have been studies that have found a connection between

common bullying and depression. Cyberbullying, on the other hand, has only

recently been linked to adolescent depression in this social media era. Even

though much of the research focused on the connection between cyberbullying

and suicidal ideation, a few studies have looked at depression (and other forms

of psychological stress) as a result of cyberbullying. Bullying that occurs online

causes depression, anxiety, tension, embarrassment, and feelings of

helplessness, according to the findings of these studies. Cyberbullying victims

have more long-term sociological and psychological issues than typical bullying

victims during puberty. Socializing and establishing meaningful relationships with

other people are the most common sociological issues. Some victims'

sociological, economic, and emotional problems follow them into adulthood.

Meneses et, al (2020) stated that cyberbullying has become a social

abuse problem in several various educational institutions. In addition to being

connected to broader social and economic circumstances, new communication

technologies have provided the ideal support for the growth of this form of abuse

in peer relationships. From 2004 to 2019, the global dynamics of the social

consequences of cyberbullying in the educational context examined in this report.

The evidence indicates that this subject is of international importance and

significance

Wang et.al (2019), has done a study to determine the average percentage

of teens that experienced cyberbully respondents said they've been the victim of

30
cyberbullying in the past, and others saying they've experienced it in the last

month. Although young adults (18–25 years) experienced the highest levels of

cyberbullying over both periods (lifetime and previous month), cyberbullying was

less common among older age ranges, with the lowest incidence among those

aged 66 and up. Men and women reported significantly different levels of

cyberbullying, with women showing slightly higher levels of having ever

witnessed cyberbullying.

The essence and mode of socialization among youth have changed since

the introduction of the Internet. Conversations in chat rooms, text messages, and

other modes of cyber networking have replaced physical socialization in the form

of attending parties and community get-togethers. Young people use social

networking sites to communicate with their friends, share thoughts, socialize, and

feel welcomed as a member of the community (Farhangpour & Matendawafa

2014). It's understandable that the old act of school bullying, also known as

"offline" bullying, has been moved to cyberspace. Cyberbullying is described by

Faucher, Jackson, and Cassidy (2014) as online interactions with the intent to

injure the recipient. Cyberbullying can take several different forms. Sending

threatening messages, spreading rumors, verbally assaulting someone,

deliberately excluding someone from the party, pretending to be someone else,

publicizing unflattering pictures of an individual, circulating sexually explicit

pictures, and sharing sensitive details online are all on the list, according to the

National Crime Prevention Council (2011).

31
 Iranzo et. al. (2019) conduct a study to analyze the relationship between

cyber victimization and suicidal ideation. There were 1,062 teenagers in this

sample (547 boys and 515 girls), ranging in age from 12 to 18 years old (M

=14.51, SD = 1.62). Cyber victimization is linked to suicidal ideation both directly

and indirectly, according to the structural equations model. The indirect effects of

cyber victimization were found to have a greater impact on suicide ideation than

the direct effects.

According to Patacsil (2019), Cyberbullying is a deliberate act of abuse

carried out across the dynamic world of social media and the use of information

technology on the internet. This study used an unsupervised associative strategy

focused on text mining to mechanically find cyberbullying terms, trends, and

association rules from a collection of tweets based entirely on the region's widely

distributed words. Additionally, this lookup describes the association between

cyberbullying main phrases and various cyberbullying terms, resulting in the

discovery of unique cyberbullying phrase trends from unstructured tweets. To

learn more, researchers discovered that the most commonly used cyberbullying

terms are intelligence, attitude, and offensive phrases to characterize the actions

and appearance of female victims, as well as sex-related words that humiliate

female victims. The findings indicate that we can use unsupervised associative

approaches in textual content mining to extract relevant information from

unstructured data. Furthermore, using association guidelines may assist in

identifying the relationship and meaning of keywords

32
with different terms, resulting in the discovery of specific datasets from

unstructured text.

According to Fabito (2018), The potential for mobile gamification to

engage students and increase their passion for learning has been investigated.

However, there is no denying that the rising demand for mobile games has

resulted in many ethical issues. Addiction and cyberbullying are two of the

drawbacks that have arisen as a result of cellular gaming. Mobile game addiction

and cyberbullying are ethical issues that must be addressed, as they obstruct

ordinary people's activities, especially those of college students in academic

institutions. Few, if any, studies have been conducted in the Philippines to

determine the prevalence of ethical issues in mobile gaming, especially mobile

game addiction and cyberbullying. This study aims to determine the prevalence

of cyberbullying and addiction in the context of mobile gaming among students at

one university in the Philippines using quantitative methods. Existing surveys

were used to determine the likelihood of cyberbullying and addiction occurring.

Also, using a qualitative approach, a debate on consequentialism regarding the

ethical catch 22 circumstances in mobile gaming is discussed. The survey also

revealed that the respondents play cell video games to improve their mood (the

need to shift from a horrific mood to a proper mood). The majority of respondents

have either experienced or initiated cyberbullying in mobile games, although this

is not definitive. Nonetheless, a handful of the respondents have been victims of

33
or perpetrators of cyberbullying. In the final section of the paper, the ethical

dialogue on Consequentialism is explored, as well as some hints.

According to Ruiz (2018), The Philippines passed the Anti-Bullying Law in

2013, which made cyberbullying illegal. This paper attempted to review current

cyberbullying legal guidelines in several ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian

Nations) countries, including Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore,

Thailand, and Vietnam. It also aims to identify anti-cyberbullying initiatives in

each country that may be relevant to the needs of different ASEAN countries. It

performed a qualitative investigation using the following primary methods: a

discourse analysis of cyberbullying legislation and potential techniques for

resolving identified concerns; and literature analysis of online journals,

magazines, and news stories. According to the results, the Philippines is the only

ASEAN country with a cyberbullying law that applies to students, while other

countries have different approaches to coping with the issue. It was also

discovered that cyberbullying occurs through Facebook and Twitter among men

and women aged 6 to 30. According to the findings, the government should

require schools to improve specific and regular insurance plans that address this

problem, as well as a curriculum that encourages digital responsibility. Finally,

parents are encouraged to teach their children moral values, particularly in the

digital age.

According to Baronia (2012), Cyberbullying is increasing in the use of

digital devices due to the use of technology. This study aims to determine the

34
impact of cyberbullying and its distinct subtypes (phone call, text message, social

media, and email bullying) on exceptional year tiers in a selected secondary

school in the Philippines. 334 of the 395 respondents, the majority of whom are

females, have experienced cyberbullying on their own For both types of

cyberbullying, first-year students have the most victims, whereas fourth-year

students have the fewest. Overall, social networking sites have the most victims,

while mobile games have the fewest. The fourth-year is the least violent, while

the first year is the most dangerous. Social networking is considered the most

dangerous for all forms of cyberbullying by students of all years. Bullying via text

message and email is considered more dangerous by first-year students and

least dangerous by third-year students. When the results of each subtype of

cyberbullying were examined on a year-by-year basis, social network and e-mail

bullying were statistically significant. Bullying by phone number and text message

is no longer statistically relevant.

According to Vargas (2018), Twitter is commonly used to find out what the

public thinks on a number of subjects. The aim of this paper is to learn about

senior high college students' perspectives on cyberbullying at a university in the

Philippines. This article explains how to present student opinions using a tweet

visualization device.

According to the findings of the survey, the majority of college students

are unconcerned about cyberbullying because university administration officers

are constantly promoting a data awareness program that reduces anxiety and

35
unpleasant emotion among senior high school students. As a result,

cyberbullying amongst senior high school students continues to be a significant

issue for educators and students. This learns about suggests sensible and

research recommendations.

Synthesis

The different studies presented contributed to the development of the

present study. They are also related since they have also explored the effects of

cyberbully on suicidal rates among teenagers.

The study made by Mirsky & Omar is related to the present study because

they both research the effects of cyberbullying on the victims. The results of the

previous study have shown that the effects of cyberbullying have a negative

impact on the mental health of the victim it can make the victim feel miserable

and depressed. Nonetheless, they may differ to each other because their study

focused to the adolescent. While the present study was focused on teenagers.

Furthermore, the study of Farhangpour & Matendawafa has similarities to

the present study in terms of the focus of the study. Both the studies talk about

how young people or teenagers socializing and communicating with others. As a

result of that new form of communication, cyberbully was easy to do by

perpetrators just by simply spreading rumors or sending a threat to the victim.

36
 In addition, the study of Ruiz is kinda similar to the present research

because she discussed that being exposed online has a big possibility to get

cyber victim or perpetrators. The past study is similar to the present study

because they focused on the negative impact of being exposed online where

cyberbully occurs.

 CHAPTER III

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This chapter present the research design, the respondents of the study,

the data gathering instruments used and statistical treatment applied in the data

gathered.

Research Design

The data for this analysis was collected using a qualitative

descriptive research design and a standardized and self-constructed

questionnaire. Qualitative descriptive research is a form of study that focuses on

describing a population, condition, or phenomenon. It focuses on answering the

questions of how, what, when, and where. Instead of the why, if it's a research

issue. This is since it is important to have a detailed understanding of a research

issue before looking at why it exists in the first place.

According to Nassaji (2015), many fields, including education,

psychology, and the social sciences, have used qualitative and descriptive

research techniques to perform research. These kinds of studies are also

becoming more popular in the field of second language teaching and learning.

The realization that L2 teaching and learning is complex has sparked interest in

such methods, especially qualitative research. To resolve this complication, we

must look at not only how learning happens in general or what factors influence

38
it, but also investigate and consider individual learners and their attitudes and

experiences in greater detail.

Respondents of the Study

The respondents of the study are the teenagers of Lipa City, Batangas.

The total number of respondents in the study is 100 teenagers. There are 20

respondents in different barangays in Lipa City, Batangas.

The sample size was calculated using Slovin's formula, and then random

sampling using the fishbowl technique was used. To give all the teenagers an

equal chance to be the study respondents the different barangays will be written

on a small strip of paper that will be placed on the bowl and the researchers pick

out 5 different barangays that represent the total population of the respondents

Data Gathering Instruments

The researchers used a self-constructed questionnaire as a data-

gathering tool, to determine the effect of cyberbully on the suicidal rates of

teenagers as perceived by the respondents. The items in this questionnaire are

based on the researcher's readings, observations, and discussion of other

researchers on their studies and in other reading materials. Overall, this tool has

eight (8) items and is composed of (3) three parts.

The first part of the questionnaire focused on the description of the

respondents. Respondents were interviewed about their social media interaction

and their health status. The second part of the questionnaire was to on what age

39
do they experienced Cyberbullying and the effect of cyberbullying on the

respondents. The third part of the questionnaire was to ask the respondents on

how would they describe the effect of cyberbullying on the suicidal rates.

Data Gathering Produce

In order to achieve the research aims, the researchers of this study

conducted certain procedures. First, based on their problem statement, the

researchers developed questions that will ensure data collection.

After, formulating questionnaires that can help and appropriate to the

study. Next to that, the researcher asks for permission if the barangays to

conduct their study. When the researcher has approval from the barangay's

captain. They proceed to conduct the study and ask the chosen respondents to

answer the questionnaire.

The researcher made sure that the respondents are comfortable. After the

respondents finish the process, the researcher thank them for their time and

cooperation.
