Abstract
This study reveals cyberbullying in the information technology age, particularly in student beliefs and behaviours. Cyberbullying has become an issue that's arising with the advancement of technology, which makes it easier for everyone in the world to be connected wirelessly. The result of the study is very interesting. More than half of the participants have reported that they spent most of their free time on social media. Due to that, some of them have experienced cyberbullying, but fewer than half of the students have actually reported the case. Moreover, social networking sites and any chat sites were found to be the platforms where cyberbullying has mostly been occurred, with email, texting on mobile phones, as well as gaming online also used for cyberbullying. Although the majority of the participants have witnessed cyberbullying, they preferred to ignore the issue instead of reporting it. According to the survey and deep interview, most of the students mentioned that there is a lack of support regarding cyberbullying.
