Abstract

This research seeks to identify the motivations behind cyberbullying
directed at GenerationZ and to identify the various kinds of cyberbullying. This
study also seeks to discover GenerationZ's perspective on cyberbullying and their
corresponding reactions. This is prompted by the increase of cyberbullying
perpetrated by users against individuals on social media, mostly on TikTok.
Cyberbullying is often defined as an act of intimidation or verbal aggression
perpetrated over the internet or social media platforms. This research employs a
phenomenological approach using qualitative descriptive analysis methodology.
This research employs a phenomenological method to comprehend the
phenomena of cyberbullying from the viewpoints of the victims. This research
included five informants through in-depth interviews.
The results of this research are seen from the standpoint of five Generation
Z individuals as the victims. The study concludes that cyberbullying is rooted in
economic and social envy, lackof activity, and humor. The study determined that
the presence of social media, particularly TikTok, encouraged perpetrators to
engage in cyberbullying. Moreover, researcher indicates that TikTok may reduce
the prevalence of cyberbullying; nonetheless, there exists a justification amongthe
offenders to persist in such behaviour. The recent studies indicate that, from the
victims' perspective, the prevalence of cyberbullying is mostly influenced by
technology. Furthermore, cyberbullying adversely impacts the mental health of
Generation Z, presenting as a frightening environment. Additionally, this research
revealed that the victims exhibited disinterest, disabled accounts, and engaged
in self-evaluation as measures to defend from further cyberbullying.
