Cyberbullying in Higher Education

Abstract

Abstract Cyberbullying is an Internet-era public health concern, also referred to as cyber victimization, linked to many harmful mental health effects. University students notice it. However, since university students are some of the most common consumers of digital media, cyberbullying is not shocking in college. Cyberbullying of university students will continue middle school and high school behaviors, although in new contexts. Aggressors can use rather overt attacks to exclude or empower others than be blatantly offensive. Electronic identity critiques, sexual harassment, and "output" private knowledge, such as sexual preference or health diagnoses, may involve prominent university cyberbullying intimidation elements without permission. This aggression is seen in various everyday violent activities in schools, such as domestic partner abuse and sexual and physical harassment. The current study analyzes research conducted to explore the immense impact of cyberbullying throughout college and university environments.
