Therefore, cyberbullying is a type of bullying, but the specifics are the use of electronic communications. Cyberbullying can occur in various forms. Therefore, it can be classified into eight types, namely, disputes, or fleming, assaults, and constant debilitating attacks, slander and restatement, impostor (impersonation of oneself into another person), erase confidential information and spread it, alienate, cyber-harassment, and hepisleping. Preventive work is carried out in two directions. The first area is associated with the development of technical means that restrict unwanted content (filters, censorship), which provides social networks and websites "complain" buttons, as well as setting up the privacy of personal accounts. This area includes the creation of a system of rapid response of content providers and services, law enforcement agencies, communication operators for illegal activities and the Internet. The second area of cyberbullying prevention involves teaching Internet users the basic rules of security and correct behavior towards other community users. On the basis of theoretical study and empirical research, the main directions of social prevention of cyberbullying were revealed and the project "Social prevention of cyberbullying among young people in the Internet space" was developed
