Abstract

The study addresses the problem of cyberbullying, which is a new form of aggression among schoolchildren resulting from the development of digital technologies. The aim of the study is not only to show the specificity of cyberbullying and its negative effects, but above all to indicate the possibility of counteracting this phenomenon in terms of prevention and education. Based on the analysis of significant scientific publications in the area of the discussed considerations, it was shown that the phenomenon of cyberbullying differs significantly from traditional violence and has a much wider range and greater impact. It was also indicated that in order to counteract the phenomenon of cyberbullying, it is necessary, first of all, to properly target and intensify the educational influence of the family and to take this issue into account in the didactic and educational process of the school and in the preventive activities undertaken, addressed to school children and youth.
