 INTRODUCTION

Cyberbullying is described as the anonymous electronic broadcasting of hurtful words about

another individual (such as a student) (Merriam-Webster, 2017). The majority of cyberbullying
investigations have been carried out with elementary, middle, and high school children who
ranged in age from 9 to 18 years old. These studies analyzed the frequency and prevalence of
cyberbullying. Only twenty one publications are found in Google Scholar (January 2019) when
the key terms "cyberbullying" and "higher-education" are included in the title. Since 2014, there
have been few publications per year, compared to 2009, 2012, and 2013, when one piece
emerged each year.
Only seven of these publications discuss the impact of cyberbullying on students; as a result,
there is a gap in the research because only scant information is provided about studies involving
undergraduate students. Given their proximity to technology and relationship, undergraduates
are probably regular targets of cyberbullying. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of
cyberbullying, the platforms used to engage in it, and its impact on undergraduate students'
academic, social, and emotional growth.
Many different things are done online by undergraduate students. These include leisure
activities like playing games or chatting in online communities, intellectual pursuits like writing
essays or applying for scholarships online, and practical activities like researching potential
employers before a job interview. Additionally, students are increasingly using the Internet for
social communication.

CYBERBULLYING AND INTERNET

The Internet, which has made it possible for completely new types of social connection,
activities, and organizing, has been the most valuable technology of the contemporary era. This
has been made feasible by its fundamental qualities, such as accessibility and universal
usability. However, it also leads to unwanted actions that are threatening or insulting to other
people, like cyberbullying. This occurrence is quite recent.
Cyberbullying, according to Belsey (2006, p. 1), "involves the use of information and
communication technologies such as e-mail, cell phone and pager text messages, instant
messaging, defamatory personal web sites, blogs, online games and defamatory online
personal polling web sites, to support deliberate, repeated, and hostile behavior by an individual
or group that is intended to harm others."
