_________________________________________________________________________________ ASBTRACT---School bullying involves a range of aggressive behaviors aimed at causing harm to a person. This phenomenon is increasing in the student population at a global level. The continued evolution of technology and the use of technological tools in everyday life have contributed to the formation of so-called cyberbullying. In particular, increased use of mobile phones, social media, easy and fast internet access and anonymity in the digital world contribute to shaping the phenomenon.
The rise of technology in recent years has made the internet a widely used medium for all ages and social groups. It enables users to communicate, exchange information, be informed, work and be entertained. Through the internet, users can express their views and ideas, engage in art, express their thoughts, make purchases, search for material and information, but also get in touch with people from different regions and countries.
