INTRODUCTION

I. Attention Getter You are fat, you are ugly, you are useless, you are stupid’’,
How do you feel when someone calls you by that rude names? Disappointed?
Angry? Sad? That is one of Cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is not only just putting a
harsh comment on ‘ugly’ photos or videos in order to against other people, but
also just to satisfy themselves to seek an attention.

studied on research on internet. Cyberbullying can happen anywhere at any time,
even in places where you normally feel safe, such as home. A Lot of
cyberbullying can be done anonymously. Therefore, it is important to be
knowledgeable about how to protect cyberbullying.

world's top countries where parents have reported their children experiencing
cyberbullies. In an article published recently by tech review site Comparitech,
Malaysia ranked sixth among 28 countries in a survey on cyberbullying around

two, behind India, which was placed first on the list. The survey was conducted
by LPSOS - an international market research company - and it involved 20,793
respondents worldwide in 2018.
