Cyberbullying has increased among teens ages 14-16 since the rise of Facebook and some teens have committed suicide due to cyberbullying. The study will explore the relationship between Facebook, cyberbullying, and suicide using a survey questionnaire. It hypothesizes that Facebook correlates with increased cyberbullying which sometimes leads to suicide. The study aims to increase awareness of cyberbullying and protect teens' privacy online.

Understanding Users' Privacy Motivations and Behaviors in Online SpacesJessica Vitak
I’ve spent my career so far studying the social outcomes people derive from their use of new communication systems like Facebook. These sites contain numerous affordances that differentiate them from other forms of communication & create low-cost environments for things like relationship maintenance and exchange of resources. I have found this research to be extremely rewarding, as it is important to understand how these social systems extend our capabilities for human interaction, beyond the more traditional forms of communication we have relied on previously.
But, there's a flip side to this story. Humans, by nature, are very social beings and want to interact, want to disclose information and share it with others. Social network sites and their like facilitate this through a variety of features. However, as individuals have moved their communication from offline spaces, where the interactions tend to be much more ephemeral and audiences are generally known, to online spaces, where the lines between public and private become much more blurred, I believe that thoughts of privacy of personal information are often lost in the novelty of the technologies. Now, as we begin to think about this issue more and more, I believe it’s time to step back and re-evaluate how we conceptualize our privacy in this highly networked world and to integrate that understanding into solutions that will help individuals become more savvy users of the technology.
ABSTRACT : Computational social science (CSS) is an academic discipline that combines the traditional social sciences with computer science. While social scientists provide research questions, data sources, and acquisition methods, computer scientists contribute mathematical models and computational tools. CSS uses computationally methods and statistical tools to analyze and model social phenomena, social structures, and human social behavior. The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief introduction to computational social science.

Are Social Media Websites Harmful To The Youth?Evan Atkinson
This study was done to determine if social media websites negatively affect the youth of America. Many young people in the United States have accounts on social media websites such as Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace and studies have shown that these websites can have negative affects. With so many young people using these social media sites, studies on the negative affects should surely be done. After conducting a survey, and analyzing many secondary academic resources I determined that in fact the youth could be negatively affected by these social media websites. They are negatively affected in many different ways such as them being addictive, and distracting in an academic environment, but also can affect the youth negatively in several other ways. After coming to these conclusions, I am certain that more studies need to be done on this issue, so we can reverse some of the negative aspects of social media websites, and find a way to be able to use them in the best possible way.
This report is a study of the identity negotiations of young active Facebook users through their online significant others. The following research investigates the identity negotiations in the life of a Facebook user.

Why Facebook Might Not Be Good for You:
Some Dangers of Online Social Networks
Walk into any computer lab at any college campus across the country and you’ll see dozen’s of students logged onto an online social network (OSN). In the last few years, the use of these networks has skyrocketed among Internet users, especially young adults. These new virtual communities are significantly influencing the way young people communicate and interact with one another. A report titled “E-Expectations: The Class of 2007” went so far as to label upcoming college freshmen “the Social-Networking Generation” (qtd. in Joly, 2007, para. 3).
In late 2006, the Pew Internet Project, a nonpartisan, nonprofit research group that examines the social impact of the Internet, reported that 55 percent of online teens have created a personal profile on OSNs and that 48 percent of teens visit social networking Web sites daily, with 22 percent visiting several times a day (Lenhart and Madden, 2007). The two most popular OSNs are MySpace and Facebook.MySpace is a general networking site that allows anyone to join, develop a profile, and display personal information. In less than four years of existence, MySpace has exploded to become the third most visited Web site on the Internet behind only Google and Yahoo (“Top Sites,” n.d.) with more than 100 million members (Joly). Facebook is geared more toward college students (until recently it required that a person attend a university to join the network) and is the number-one site accessed by 18- 24-year-olds. According to research studies cited in the Toronto Star, 90 percent of all undergraduates log on to Facebook and 60 percent log on daily (George-Cosh, 2007). Facebook has also experienced unprecedented growth in its relatively short existence and now ranks as the seventh most visited site on the Internet (“Top Sites”) and has a member base of more than 19 million (Joly).
With the use of OSNs increasing among young people, the term “Facebook trance” has emerged to describe a person who loses all track of time and stares at the screen for hours (Copeland, 2004). While “Facebook trance” might describe only an occasional and therefore harmless phenomenon, it gives rise to important questions: What are the possible negative consequences of OSNs? What should youthful users be watchful for and guard against? The purpose of this paper is to identify the possible harms of OSNs. I will suggest that overuse of OSNs can be a contributing factor to a decline in grades as well as to other problems such as a superficial view of relationships, and increase in narcissism, and possible future embarrassment.
I don’t mean to deny that OSNs have positive consequences for young people. For one thing, they provide a “virtual h ...
For this research paper we had to give our opinion about how Social Media is either helpful or hurtful for society. We were assigned to either research the helpful or hurtful side. The side I was given to research was the hurtful side.
Today’s youth have a laissez faire attitude towards exposing their lives online. Are they the guinea pig generation, blindly documenting their every move on Facebook with little or no regard to the possible repercussions of ‘over-exposure’ in future? Life experience may well teach them to hold back, but by the time they learn this, it may already be too late.
Pitfalls of Social MediaSome disadvantages of social network.docxrandymartin91030
Pitfalls of Social Media
Some disadvantages of social networking are addiction, friendships, and how it can become a distraction. According to an article in the Huffington Post by Britney Fitzgerald, “forty-five percent of responders said they feel “worried or uncomfortable” when email and Facebook are inaccessible.” Now-a-days society has gotten so dependent to their social networking; they cannot even leave their house without taking their phones or laptops to school. People cannot stand to be without their phones without having anxiety, we need to establish a control over the technology. “It’s not being on social networks that makes people anxious. It’s being away from them.” We have grown into this new culture where we cannot even go to sleep without checking our phones, and what is the first thing we do when we wake up? Check our phone. In fact, in a recent study Mobile Mindset study by Lookout “54 percent admit to checking their phones while lying in bed.” The unfortunate price we pay for social networking is lack of sleep. A similar study from the University of Bergen found that “people with poor sleeping habits were most likely to be Facebook-obsessed.” It has become apparent that one has created this dependency on modern technology that we have added these aps such as Facebook and YouTube to our cell phones, since we cannot even wait to get home and check from our computers. We don’t even send invitations anymore; all we do is send a Facebook invite.
Another article in the Huffington Post, The Addiction and Cost of Social Media by Sam Fiaorella he states that “if you are not paying for the product, you are the product.” In this case social networking, the Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, they are all free however, you are wasting time, emotion and privacy. “According to Nielsen and NM Incite's The Social Media Report 2012, “consumers continue to spend more time on social networks than on any other type of Internet site.” “As of July 2012, the total time spent accessing and engaging in social media sites has increased 37 percent in the U.S., representing 121 billion minutes.”
Emotionally we put our lives out there on social networking. We are willing to share everything we do on a daily basis and post our feelings. We create an “online version of ourselves” in which we are able to let people see and know any “version” we allow ourselves to be. “A study by the University of Waterloo as reported in Psychological Science demonstrated that Facebook engagement can increase the likelihood of depression in some people.”
Privacy is often a forgotten factor in social networking; people seem to forget that whatever they post online can follow them throughout life. Some jobs even check your social sites to make sure you are right for the job. Social networks keep track what you are interested in, you may think its because they want to learn more about you however, “the more personal the information they can acquire the more they can .
Web search engines emerged prior to the dominance of social media. What if we imagined search as integrating with
social media from the ground up? So.cl is a web application
that combines web browsing, search, and social networking
for the purposes of sharing and learning around topics of interest. In this paper, we present the results of a deployment
study examining existing learning practices around search
and social networking for students, and how these practices
shifted when participants adopted So.cl. We found prior to
using So.cl that students already heavily employed search
tools and social media for learning. With the use of So.cl,
we found that users engaged in lightweight, fun social sharing and learning for informal, personal topics, but not for
more heavyweight collaboration around school or work.
The public nature of So.cl encouraged users to post search
results as much for self expression as for searching, enabling serendipitous discovery around interests.

2. Abstract This research will find out how the effects of the social network, Facebook, are impacting our teens today. Cyberbullying has increased in teens between the ages of 14-16 and is more prominent since the inception of the social network Facebook. Some of these teens have committed suicide as a result of cyberbullying because they could no longer handle the pressure from their offenders.
3. Facebook has become a national phenomenon and the media has contributed to familiarizing the public to it. Facebook is the site where most teens search for their friends, updates on those friends, pictures of their friends and events posted. The chart below identifies how teens access technology between the ages of 10-18 year olds.

5. Key Words:Cyberbullying, Facebook, Internet, Social Networks Cyberbullying- “Cyberbullying is any harassment that occurs via the Internet. Vicious forum posts, name calling in chat rooms, posting fake profiles on web site, and mean or cruel email messages are all ways of cyber bullying” (Hardcastle, 2011) Facebook-Facebook is the world’s largest social network, with over 500 million users.Founded in February 2004, Facebook is a social utility that helps people communicate more efficiently with their friends, family and coworkers.
6. Internet-a vast computer network linking smaller computer networks worldwide (usually preceded by the). Social Networks-A Social Network is a website, or network of websites, specifically established to allow end users to communicate directly with each other on topics of mutual interest.
8. Types of DirectCyberbullying Attacks Instant messaging/text messaging harassment Stealing passwords Blogs Web Site Sending pictures through E-mail and cell phones Internet polling Interactive gaming Sending malicious code Sending porn and other junk E-mail and IM’s Impersonation
9. SociologyFramework Symbolic interactionism Paradigm-This paradigm is the idea of how individuals interact with each other. “A paradigm that views human behavior is the creation of meaning through social interactions, with those meanings conditioning subsequent interactions”
10. SociologyFramework Simmel, a strong advocate of symbolic interactionism, was interested on how society functioned and how they interacted. "Simmel was more interested in how individuals interacted with one another. In other words, his thinking and research took a "micro" turn, thus calling attention to aspects of social reality that are invisible in Marx's or Spencer's theory"
11. SociologyFramework “Cooley also wrote of the "looking glass self" we form by looking into the reactions of people around us. If everyone treats us as beautiful, for example, we concluded that we are.” (Babbie, p. 37). Micro theory deals with issues of social life at the level of individuals and small groups. Dating behavior, jury deliberations, and student-faculty interactions are apt subjects for a microtheoritical perspective”(Babbie,p. 34).
12. SociologyFramework The exploratory study will be the appropriate research design for this proposal. Facebook is virtually becoming a huge social spectacle within the Internet social networks. “Exploration is the attempt to develop an initial rough understanding of some phenomenon” (Babbie, 2010, p. 121).
13. SociologyFramework Exploratory studies are done using three purposes A. To satisfy the researcher’s curiosity and desire for better understanding. B. To test the feasibility of undertaking a more extensive study. C. To develop the methods to be employed in any subsequent study.
14. SociologyFramework Sometimes there can be more then one unit of analysis within the analysis. “For different analyses in the same study you may have different units of analysis” (Trochim, 2006). The unit of analysis that I have considered is individuals, groups, and social interactions.
15. SociologyFramework Hypothesis I believe there is a strong correlation of increased cyberbullying within the social network Facebook of teenagers between the ages of 14-16, which sometimes results in suicide.
16. Hypothesis Variables Facebook and Internet (Independent Variable) Bullying/cyberbullying (Dependent Variable) Suicide (Dependent Variable) Lack of parental support (A possible dependent variable, but not an exact cause of Facebook)
17. Hypothesis Variables Antecedent Test Variable I Test variable=cyber bullying Independent variable=Facebook Dependent variable=suicide
18. Hypothesis Variables Antecedent Test Variable II 1. Test Variable=Facebook 2. Independent variable=Parental Supervision 3. Dependent variable=Cyberbullying/suicide
19. Target Audience Teenagers between the ages of 14-16 Parents of teenagers between the ages of 14-16 Teachers, Administrators and school counselors Law Enforcement
20. Literature Review Facebook Popularity According to Digitalmediawire, Facebook, surpassed the US Web traffic for the first time during the month of May. Facebook had 70.278 million unique visitors vs. MySpace with 70.225 million” (Flip the Media, A blog about the digital media revolution, 2009).
26. Ethics Informed Consent Anonymity Institutional Review Board (IRB) Harm Principle-Because subjects can be harmed psychologically in the course of social research the researcher must look for the subtlest dangers and guard against them” (Babbie, 2010, p. 65).
27. Design and Procedures A self-administered questionnaire with closed ended questions. Likert Scaling because it is the easy to follow. “Though seldom used, Likert’s scaling method is fairly easy to understand, based on the relative intensity of different items” (Babbie, 2010, p. 179). Testing my hypothesis.
29. Conclusion Need for stricter guidelines Protection for our children’s privacy Increase awareness of cyberbullying
Editor's Notes
“MySpace. YouTube, Facebook, Friendster. Nearly every teen in America is on the Internet every day, socializing with friends and strangers alike, “trying on” identities, and building a virtual profile of themselves-one that many kids insist is a more honest depiction of who they really are than the person they portray at home or in school” (Goodman, Maggio, Fedde, & Lyman, 2008).
