The aim of this qualitative research is to study the cyberbullying behavior and coping strategies of elementary school students. The population was grade 4 - 6 students studying in a Bangkok municipal school. By using questionnaire screening, five students who were bullied during 2011-2015 were recruited. After the in-depth interviews, it was found that most students had poor understanding about cyberbullying because of the abstract definition. The common cause of cyberbullying was the ignorance of the students to logout of social media in the public computer or mobile phone.
