Cyberbullying as a Form of Aggressive Behavior

Abstract

We live in the age of global digitalization of all routine processes, which allows us to quickly carry out activities in various areas of life. In our world, for many years, along with analog reality, there has been a digital one. Since much of the communication between children and adolescents takes place in the digital space, conflicts are now fought not only in analogue, but increasingly in digital form. This facilitates bullying and greatly increases its harmful potential. Unfortunately, not all innovations have exclusively positive properties. Some achievements of science and technology can be used against a person. One of these was the Internet. In the article, we considered such a phenomenon as cyberbullying. The orientation of the personality of the participants, the causes of occurrence, as well as the consequences and methods of prevention were studied.
