How to disable arrow keys on Macbook?

Aloha -

My arrow keys will, very annoyingly, activate at random times and very often.

Every time I watch a movie or a clip it will skip it forward or back; on a page, it's constantly scrolling it up, down, sideways, etc. Makes everyday use frustrating and difficult.

I need the arrow keys off and they're not necessary! How can I disable them?
