ATTENTION: WATCH OUT FOR CYBER-BULLIES There is increased use of information and communication technology in this twenty first century; more especially young people are at the center of this development. Users harm others using these kinds of media, they send derogatory texts via mobile phones; send threatening e-mails and even forward confidential material to everybody in the cyber space. This form of bullying is severely and negatively affecting many adolescents involved. Victims are experiencing lower self-esteem, and a multiplicity of emotional responses, including cyber bullying back, being scared, frustrated, angry, and depressed. One of the most damaging effects clear in today’s society is that a victim begins to avoid friends and daily activities. I noticed, It was important to investigate the perceptions of college students because literature has shown that they are the ones mostly affected by the problem of cyber bullying, therefore there is need to know their views and then work on everything from there. The results of the investigation indicate that according to the perception of students, indeed cyber bullying is present in college. This means cyber bullying is not a problem only imagined by the researchers alone, even people in the community believe the problem is there.
