“…Several studies have also identified disadvantages of cyberbullying. Research on Malaysian students in higher learning institutions found that the most common effect of cyberbullying is the development of over-sensitive behaviour towards their surroundings (Lai et al, 2017).…”

This study is conducted to analyse the reasons for cyberbullying and the effects of cyberbullying on social media among female students at a university in Northern Peninsular Malaysia. One hundred female students participated in this study through online survey. Majority of the respondents are well-versed pertaining to cyberbullying and are not involved in cyber bullying. The results indicate that female students are exposed to cyberbullying on social media, namely Instagram, Facebook and Twitter and others. This is because the female students use social media daily and are more insecure and sensitive on the words hurled in social media.

“…This is due to higher education students relying on technological gadgets to complete academic tasks. The probability of encountering cyberbullying would be high if they fail to exercise respect in online communication or have inadequate knowledge to differentiate between online behaviour that is ethical and that is not (Lai et al, 2017). Working in the same vein, the frequency of using technological tools, the right to produce media content, and the opportunity to work with computers could not guarantee that the individual is literate and possesses high levels of maturity in exercising the power of communication online (Hobbs, 2010;Lee, 2014;Peicheva & Milenkova, 2017).…”

“…The main characters in cyberbullying, students or adolescents, satisfy the introduction of rules of support groups to tackle developments of cyberbullying. Lai et al (2017) identified that cyber victims seldom sought help from professional agencies because they are generally more comfortable in sharing their problems with friends and classmates. Therefore, apart from creating and providing professional support agencies for cyber victims, the cause of the problem and the comfort of cyber victims must be considered in determining a solution to cyberbullying.…”

Cyberbullying is on the rise worldwide. In Malaysia, several adolescents committed suicide due to victimisation of cyberbullying. Research is thus necessary to gain an in-depth understanding of the reasons for cyberbullying and then provide a solution to the problem. This study addresses cyberbullying using a survey questionnaire that determines the words that the public considers to be demeaning. The survey questionnaire is conducted through Google Form and is completed by 44 respondents. Three categories of cyberbullying are identified, namely, appearance, intelligence, and worthiness. Once the demeaning words per category are identified, the highest-rated words are gathered and presented to participants from different cultural backgrounds. An interview is conducted to investigate the understanding of those words. Although respondents from different cultural backgrounds have mixed interpretations of the presented words, results found that avoiding using the identified demeaning words is an effective solution to cure cyberbullying. Pedagogical implications are also suggested on the basis of findings. Eliminating cyberbullying is the responsibility of all members of the nation.
