Bullying in the Internet Age: The State of Cyberbullying among Teens in Turkey

by Sinan Asci

Overview

“Bullying in the Internet Age: The State of Cyberbullying among Teens in Turkey”

specifically addresses cyberbullying as an issue to be discussed in the field of media and

communication for uses and literacy. Cyberbullying has become and is still a fragile

problem with the enhancement of contemporary technologies. To determine why young

individuals are engaged in these behaviors is in its infancy because of ever-changing

technology uses in Turkey, and its theoretical underpinnings are still researched. To put a

finer point on these experiences turning into cyberbullying acts is in need of knowing the

social media uses of young individuals, addressing a necessity in defining what

cyberbullying is within Turkey’s context, and examining the types of cyberbullying which

young individuals are confronted with in detail.
