Cyberbullying is a type of social abuse by utilizing electronic gadgets such as smartphones. The growing population of smartphone owners among students raises new problems in the classroom. Misuse of smartphone use, especially in the perspective of cyberbullying, can result in disruption of the quality of learning in the classroom and the academic atmosphere on campus. Compared to traditional bullying, cyberbullying can happen anywhere and anytime. Text, photo or video information used in cyberbullies can be delivered directly to the target person. This research aims to study the factors why students conduct cyberbullying and the effects of cyberbullying. The result of analysis shows enough evidence that there is a misuse in the use of smartphones when in the classroom.
