male and female students decided to bully people online because they were
bullied first. Research has also been done that looks at how the bullies find
their victims.
Wegge et al. (2014) studied the perpetrators preferences in victims and
found that 27 percent were in the same grade, 14.2 percent were in different
grades and a staggering 48.6 percent were not schoolmates of the bullies.
This evidence somewhat and at home because it shows that nearly half of the
bullies prefer to bully people they don’t go to school with and possibly do not
know at all. This continues to build and add to the idea of cyberbullying in that
it allows bullies to create their own personas and images in order to try and
intimidate and influence other without actually providing a physical intimidation
factor.(5:2014)
Effects of Cyberbullying
While the platforms used are different the lasting effects that the
bullying has on the victims are very similar, faucher et al. (2014) concluded
that one of the main effects that cyberbullies had on university students was
that they were unable to accomplish some of their school assignments. While
many people think of effectsof bullying to be simply depression or low esteem,
this study brought light to a much different more unexpected issues.(6:2014)

This article suggests that the proposed law is needed to prevent cyber-
bullying, which can cause harm to students. This bill would help the students
of Saint Mary Academy who may be struggling with their mental health as a
result of bullying.

The output
acknowledges the
efficiency of school
officers in handling
cyberbullying cases
varies. While some
schools have
implemented
proactive measures
and comprehensive
policies to address
cyberbullying, others
may face challenges
in identifying and
addressing such
cases promptly.
Factors such as
training, awareness
programs, and
collaboration with
law enforcement can
significantly impact
the effectiveness of
school officers in
dealing with
cyberbullying
incidents.

5. Based on the findings, what intervention plan of the school officers must be
implemented?
Null Hypothesis
School Administration, Faculty, and Staff. This study can give the
school administration knowledge about cyberbullying and its effects, they can
take appropriate measures to prevent and address it in school community. It
could also give the faculty and staff more opinions about the efficiency of the
school leaders in Saint Mary Academy on the social awareness of
cyberbullying.
Parents. This study will help the parents understand how these
identifies factors affect their children’s mental and emotional well-being. And
would help them know their children’s status upon attending in school.
17
18
Students. The findings of this study will be beneficial and will serve as
a social development to the students who can learn to recognize it, speak up
about it, and work together to prevent it. This can create a safer and more
positive learning environment for all students, leading to better academic
outcomes and improved mental health.

Participants
This study collected the necessary data from the respondents, who
were the seventh-graders of Saint Mary Academy of Guindulman, Bohol, Inc.,
in order to provide authentic data. Thus, those chosen Grade 7 students for
the School Year 2023-2024 using the Face-to-Face Learning Modality are
included in the inclusion criteria. Most likely, forty-two (42) people will take part
and the selection of the respondents will be done through non probability
sampling method.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
This study aims to evaluate and critically analyze the efficiency of the
school leaders in handling the school’s cyberbullying cases specifically in
grade 7 students in Saint Mary Academy of Guindulman, Bohol, Inc. This likely
involves evaluating the school officers’ actions on cyberbullying cases, and
asses the efficiency in addressing cyberbullying. The researchers came up
with the following research findings:
Sex. It shows that a clear gender distribution was evident, with 35.7%
of respondents being male and 64.3% female, emphasizing the higher
enrollment of female students in Grade 7.
Section. It shows that Sections St. Michael, St. Gabriel, and St.
Raphael showed an equal distribution of 33.3% each, reflecting a balanced
representation across the different sections.

RECOMMENDATION
As part of our study goals, we, the researchers, aim to provide practical
recommendations. The researcher's recommendations and ideas that might
be helpful to students, parents, teachers, and school administrators in the
future are listed.
For the students, the researchers came up with the Digital Citizenship
Education, where we integrate digital citizenship into the curriculum through
dedicated lessons, workshops, and interactive activities. Cover topics such as
online etiquette, responsible use of social media, and the potential
consequences of cyberbullying. Collaborate with teachers, counselors, and
external experts to ensure a comprehensive understanding of digital
citizenship. Another is Regular Awareness Campaigns, where we organize
awareness campaigns throughout the school year, leveraging assemblies,
posters, and classroom discussions. Engage students in creating and sharing
content that highlights the impact of cyberbullying and promotes a positive
online culture. Encourage the active participation of student leaders in
organizing these campaigns.
