The algorithm of emotion: Tech, social media, and the new faces of bullying

Explore the real cost of growing up online: tech, bullying, and how schools can build emotional resilience and safer spaces.

Childhood now spans both physical and digital worlds, with apps and online platforms shaping identity, emotions, and belonging. While technology offers creativity and connection, it also brings risks—cyberbullying, digital harassment, and emotional pressures are increasingly common. Teachers see how online issues spill into classrooms, with bullying and drama starting on screens and continuing in school corridors.

This session explores how technology is reshaping children’s emotional wellbeing and fuelling new forms of bullying. Drawing on global research and Malaysian case studies, it highlights hidden impacts and offers practical strategies for schools. Educators will gain insights into global bullying trends, the role of digital life in emotional regulation, and actionable tools for building resilience and safeguarding students in a digital-first world.
