Until it causes cyberbullying. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of social media on cyberbullying on adolescents in Wawalintouan, West Tondano District. This research is a quantitative approach with descriptive method. The number of samples taken were 56 adolescents in Wawalintouan sub-district from a total of 282 adolescents. To test the hypothesis of this study using simple linear regression techniques with questionnaires as a medium for data collection. The results showed that social media variables influence the cyberbullying variable and the direction of the influence of social media on cyberbullying is positive, this is evidenced by the cyberbullying regression coefficient of 0.450 which shows a positive number. Then in the hypothesis test, seen from the F test, the calculated F value (23,035) is greater than F Table 4.02 and the significance is smaller than 0.05. The R Square value obtained is 0.299 or 29.9%, so the hypothesis H 1 is accepted and H 0 is rejected. This means that if there is a change in the value of social media it will be followed by a change in the value of cyberbullying. Social media also has a contribution of 29.9% cyberbullying.
