Cyber Bullying Detection Using Social Network Analysis

Cyber Bullying which is defined as “the use of information technology to harm or harass other people in a deliberate, repeated, and hostile manner” has emerged as a serious social problem in the past few years. With the widespread use of the Internet, cyber bullying has become more common and more harmful for both the victims and the cyber bullies.

 

The Cyber Bullying Research Center found that about half of teenagers have experienced cyber bullying, and 10 to 20 percent are involved in cyber bullying relationships regularly. This is especially worrying as multiple studies have reported that the victims of cyber bullying often deal with psychosomatic disorders, and a study in Britain has reported that at least half of suicides.

among teenagers are related to bullying.
