- To display their power and strength over their victims
Affected Target Group

Agent of
change/stakeholder
- Government agencies
- Social support groups
- Families
- Individuals
Existing Solution
- Anti-harassment laws
- Regulate and monitor social media behaviour
- Punish offenders through legal proceeding
- Counselling for victims and offender
Evaluation
- Problems of anoynmiety: Teens engage in bullying due to anonymity; since they do not meet their victims in person, they find pleasure
- More of a corrective measure rather than a preventive tool
Proposed Solution
- Education at home and in school about the effects and consequences of cyber bullying
- Families to take notice of changes in children’s behaviour
- Teachers to teach about importance of cyber ethics
Evaluation
- Individuals themselves have to play a part: restrain from responding/taking revenge to cyber bullying
Thesis
- On top of the corrective measures that have been introduced such as anti-harassment laws and counseling, preventive measures through education at home and in school remain as the most fundamental solution to suppress cyber-bullying among teenagers in Singapore.
