Cyberbullying is a serious issue affecting young victims and the victim’s family, the bully, and those who witness cyberbullying. This project looks at the problems that arise because of cyberbullying. In this study, a five-member team had a meeting wherein various topics regarding the effect of cyberbullying were discussed.  

The researchers believed that having a better understanding of the effect of cyberbullying can give an awareness to students. Hence, this study was intended to determine the effect of cyberbullying on students' performance in school. The researchers also aimed to know how to diminish these problems. The researchers could propose solutions to help today's students by conducting this research. Cyberbullying is bullying in a digital space, such as on phones, computers, tablets, and more, in arenas such as text messaging, social media, forums, online gaming, and more. Even in 2022, bullying is still a problem for most people. Any bullying can have physical and psychological effects on a child: anxiety, fear, depression, low self-esteem, and behavioural issues.

The researchers utilized the descriptive method in conducting the effects of cyberbullying on the academic performance of the Grade 6 learners of San Bartolome Elementary School. Simple random sampling is used in determining respondents from Grade 6 learners, for 30 respondents.
