The phenomenon of bullying is not the result of today, but what is new is the exploitation of some technology, in order to publish and facilitate and increased the seriousness of this phenomenon the proliferation of smart phones, tablets and social networking tools. The importance of the scientific paper in shedding light on the phenomenon of digital bullying in the school community and the role of the school in addressing this phenomenon, where we find that Violence has risen in contemporary schools to unprecedented levels and reached the extent of assault on teachers and students by bullying students where The limits of due respect between the student and his teacher have been lost, leading to a decline in the prestige of teachers and their impact on students, which encouraged some of them Domination over others using technology and social media, besides teaching can lead to traditional methods The centrality of the teacher as the sole source of knowledge and as the owner of absolute authority within the classroom is dependent on the adoption of violence and exclusion as a method of solution the problems.
