Research and learning

From this project, I learned that cyberbullying could

have grave side effects. When, I used to play video
games, even I faced cyberbullying, but I ignored it as an
irrelevant issue. But after this project, I learned how
badly can it impact a person- mentally. Which can lead
to many people attempting suicide, feeling depressed,
etc.

Before this research, I thought God of War had the most

toxic community as I play it. I thought I had all the
information in the world about cyberbullying. However,
after this project, I discovered games like BGMI, and
Call of Duty have way more toxic communities than I
thought. Which thus served as a humbling for me.

After confirming the validity of the research, Me and
Khushwant made questions for an interview with a technical
expert. However, our expert- Ms. Nidhi Dhawan, was not
available for our interview before our deadline.

Meanwhile, to check if cyberbullying is prevalent in our

school or not. Rihan and Anushka made questions for a
survey to be conducted in IGCSE and Stage 9, a group of 13
and 14-year-olds in our target age group for the research.
Me, Khushwant, Rihan and Anushka conducted the surveys in
the respective classes and noted the results, accordingly.

After conducting the survey, we received a positive response

which indicated that cyberbullying is prevalent in our school.
However, the students had very little information about
cyberbullying, hence we decided to conduct a session to
spread awareness and provide tips to deal with it.

We conducted a session on cyberbullying with IGCSE and

Stage 9. Before the session, Khushwant had to pay a visit to
the counsellor to take inputs and ideas for the session, but
unfortunately, she was not available before the session, so
we did a literature review online. To prepare for the session
Rishi and Khushwant made the slideshow for the session. I
made the flyer for the interview which will be handed out to
them after the session, so they remember the takes from the
session. Rishi and Khushwant researched the effects of
cyberbullying to provide data for the ppt.

During the session, the classes were attentive, which meant

we were confident, and we had relevant material. After the
session, students approached me and asked us doubts which
were answered by me, showing that I had researched well
enough.

I did a lot of research. Firstly, I did some initial research on

the Government of India’s website to check if our research
question is valid or not. Then, I researched the side effects of
cyberbullying which was required for the brochure and the
presentation. I researched a lot of information for the same,
but it meant that I had all of the information for the
brochure, and Me and Rihan got information for the ppt.
Anushka conducted an interview with her friend's mom,
who's a journalist, to get the viewpoint of the expert and give
us an idea about the solutions.
