The purpose of this study is to analyse cyberbullying behaviour on social media, causal factors, impacts, prevention and handling of cyberbullying behaviour on social media. The results of this study indicate that cyberbullying behaviour on social media requires full self-awareness from each user and support from the surrounding environment.
