This study employed the stacking of three machine learning techniques: Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), and Logistic Regression algorithms to develop a model for detecting cyberbullying using a post dataset acquired from the X Platform. The proposed model's task is to extract keywords from the post dataset and then classify them as either 1 ("cyberbullying word") or 0 ("not cyberbullying word"). The model generated an accuracy of 85.52%, and it was deployed using a simple Graphical User Interface (GUI) web application. This study recommends that the model be included on social media platforms to help reduce the growing use of cyberbullying phrases.
