Abstract

Problem Statement: Information and communication technologies provide a wide range of benefits for schools but it comes with a cost: Cyber bullying (also called electronic bullying) as a new form of bullying has emerged from the misuse of those technologies. Although cyber bullying has been a growing concern in several countries, research substantiating this concern is limited.
