SARAH De Bono, former contestant of The Voice, says that people who use Facebook or other forms of social media to attack or abuse others - particularly those who victimise people who have died are "disrespecting the system".
"They are obviously going about things the wrong way and ruining it for everyone else," she said.
De Bono's comments come in the wake of a multitude of attacks occurring on more than 500 social media "burn books" of Australian public schools.
News Ltd discovered that more than 500 schools were running Facebook pages dedicated to humiliating their peers, extending the burden of cyber bullying outside the school gates.
''A lot of my fans sometimes they'll have fights - they call themselves the Debonators,'' De Bono said.
''Every time someone behaves that way I'll always be like 'It's not worth it' and every time something like that happens I tell them and they apologise and say they value each other and I'd like to keep it that way.''
Having been cast into the spotlight by talent show, The Voice, the 20-year-old singer - now signed to Universal Records - has had to learn quickly how to cope with a sudden influx of social media fans.
Asked if she had been targeted by trolls, De Bono said only that her experience on social media had been ''very positive''.
In less than a year, the pint-sized pop star has earned more than 91,000 subscribers on Facebook, 70,000 Instagram followers and 88,400 Twitter followers.
She told News Ltd that at first she hated Twitter, but that she learned quickly how to engage with her fans by having them participate in quizzes and have them ask her questions about herself to see if she can get them right.
"I also did a 'Sing with Sarah' competition on Facebook," she said, where she encouraged people to compose their own covers of her songs and upload them.
De Bono's social media activities have seen her invited as an "ambassador" to a Hamilton Island "Instameet" where she spent the weekend taking photos and hanging out with competition winners whose Instagram pictures won them a free trip to the island.
