Abstract

The article reveals the essence of the problem of bullying. There is a lack of research in our country due to many years of ignoring it as a problem. The signs, types, forms, features of bullying are described. The role structure of bullying participants is highlighted. Regulatory and legal support for the prevention and solution of existing problems with manifestations of aggression in students. Behavioural reactions of victims of bullying and mechanisms of its manifestation are described. The research is given in the form of a survey in order to identify the manifestations of bullying among students.Today, the problem of bullying is not only a pedagogical problem but also a social one, as it leads to an increase in violence, cruelty, addictions and deviant behaviour among young people. The situation of bullying contributes to a number of negative consequences, namely: pedagogical (school maladaptation, academic failure); psychological (psychological disorders, consolidation in the minds of negative perceptions of themselves, decreased self-esteem, socialization disorders, social maladaptation); medical (trauma), etc.The author found that preventive work to prevent bullying in secondary education should be carried out comprehensively, namely with children, teachers and parents. In addition, preventive work should focus on dealing with explicit bullies, bullying victims and observers. These activities should be an individual and a group.Given that the problem of bullying in our country is dealt with for a relatively short time, we can say that for further research there are many issues: further work with adolescents and monitoring of change; research of ways to prevent the development of bullying in primary school children and even preschool children; work directly with the teaching staff for the timely detection of bullying in the student environment.
