Introduction

The intentions of this Independent Research Project is to research cyber bullying over a series of weeks in order prove the hypothesis “Cyberbullying negatively impacts on the emotional wellbeing of adolescents”. This topic was chosen due to cyberbullying being a very serious issue, especially in today’s modern society. It aims to allow individuals to get a better understanding of the negative impacts on the adolescent victims’ emotional wellbeing that cyberbullying causes. The expectations of this Independent Research Project are that through various methods of investigations, qualitative and quantitative data will be collected from both primary and secondary sources of data in the goal to prove the hypothesis. The content of emotional wellbeing relates to the ‘Core 1 - Resource Management’ syllabus under the bold heading ‘Fundamental concepts of resource management’, the italic heading under it ‘wellbeing’, the dot point underneath that ‘factors affecting wellbeing’ and then the first point ‘emotional’. The content of adolescents also relates to the ‘Core 3 – Families and Communities’ syllabus, under the heading ‘stages of the lifespan’ and the first dot point under that ‘adolescents’.

The sampling methods used for the questionnaires were cluster the sampling method. This was the easiest option and wasn't very time consuming. For the interviews convenience sampling was used. This was again the least time consuming.
The only ethical issues with the two sampling methods were that some
