Paper Abstract:      While the ubiquitous access to the Internet continues to expand, the demands of the Net generation for constant connectivity and cyber-fun, there is increasing evidence of the disruptive effects of technology. The problem of cyberbullying in schools has become very widely recognised as a significant and serious one. In most developed countries, the increased prevalence of cyberbullying is reported in the UK, USA, Australia, Japan and Korea. The serious and sometimes long-term physical and psychological damage to students has remained a major focus for research across the globe in the past decade. The development of social networking technologies and virtual worlds has brought about new challenges for school communities and has placed considerable pressures on educators to remain informed and vigilant to the developing phenomenon of cyberbullying. This paper addresses the impact of cyberbullying on students, and outlines strategies being adopted by schools and policy makers to combat this growing negative behavior.
