ABSTRACT
Today, technology is an indispensable element of our lives. Technology makes our lives easier by using
useful points. Apart from this, it is seen that some people use technology to go beyond the purpose of
benefit. Cyber bullying is one of the examples of this abuse. Cyber bullying is a deliberate psychological,
social, verbal or visual aggressive behaviour towards a person or group that does not have the power to
defend themselves over a period of time or continuously using electronic communication tools such as
mobile phones. The aim of this study is to learn whether people have information about cyber bullying
and their views on whether the attitudes they are exposed to are cyber bullying and to raise awareness
on this issue. This research involves students studying at the Karadeniz Technical University answering
the questionnaire and interview questions, taking into account their personal experiences about cyber
bullying or the experiences of their immediate surroundings. In this research, survey was applied to 250
students and 30 students of them were interviewed. As a result of this research, it is seen that women
are more victims of cyber bullying than men. In addition, it is observed that the duration of internet use
is quite high and they use the internet mostly for night and entertainment purposes. It is observed that
people who share the passwords of their social media accounts with their boy/girlfriend also experience
cyber bullying more. People who have been subjected to cyberbullying may experience psychological
depression. This situation completely affects their daily social life and health at the end.
Keywords: Cyber Bullying, Cyber Victimization, Awareness, University Students.
