Abstract
The article discusses the problems of gender differences in the teenage aggressive behavior on social networks. The article provides a theoretical overview of approaches to the study of the problem of gender differences in aggressive behavior of adolescents, including in the Internet space: psychophysiological, psychosocial, and socio-psychological. The study results showed that the process of aggressive interaction between adolescents on social networks was implemented according to the strategies of psychological defense chosen by adolescents, the level of hostility and self-presentation of an individual through asocial behavior. The authors note that the transition to the virtual space gives adolescents the opportunity to experiment with their own gender, and the number of adolescents with a distinction of biological sex and gender role increases. The study revealed differences in the aggressive behavior between all groups of respondents, depending on their choice of gender role. All results are confirmed using the methods of mathematical statistics.

Summary
The current development stage of society, the general digitalization of the population and the globalization of economic space change the modern way of life for adults, and for children. Adolescents, whose growing up takes place more often in a virtual environment of social media than in the previously familiar social institutions - family and school - are especially vulnerable to the new reality. Teenagers with little social experience are immersed in the virtual space with all the passion inherent in this phase, which can lead to a violation of the assessment of communication situation, wrong perception of reality and misconceptions about self-expression. Acceptance of a new sociosexual orientation, a new model of behavior appropriate to a new gender, expands the adolescent's social experience, but can lead to deviations of personality and behavior.
