Abstract

In the past bullies always disturb children in schools and wherever they can. Presently, bullies have a new site for bullying: cyber space. Nasty chat are spread through e-mail,
posted on Social Networking Sites and sent as text messages. These negative activities are known as cyber bullying. Since this is a new trend especially in Malaysia, the main focus of this research is to raise the awareness of students concerning cyberbullying by using Persuasive Technology. It is aimed at secondary school students. The
methodologies that will be used are survey (questionnaire), Facebook group CyBIC (as Persuasive Technology), and a forum (involving lecturers and educators, UUM students, school students, IT expert (Cyber Security Malaysia) and counsellor). The expectation of this project is that the awareness of cyberbullying phenomenon will be raised in Malaysian schools and perhaps other educational institutions as well.
