Abstract:

Today, cyberbullying is an underestimated problem of the 21st century, which is connected with the rapid development of information and communication technologies.

Social projects draw society's attention to the understanding of current problems and influence society's desire to find the necessary solution for their elimination.
Currently, cyberbullying is not regulated at the level of Ukrainian legislation, however, foreign experience demonstrates the tendency to create methods of countering and preventing cyberbullying, as well as introducing a system of punishment at the legislative level. World experience is a confirmation that the initiation of similar projects is a method of uniting citizens to eliminate the problem of Internet bullying.

The social and educational project in collaboration with students "Your digital safety" is designed to publish useful information, as well as popularize the topic of cyberbullying among young people and find opportunities to break down barriers that prevent boys and girls from sharing their problems with others. Limited awareness of this phenomenon also affects the fact that young people do not know how to qualify Internet bullying and do not know where to turn in case of bullying. There is a myth that victims of cyberbullying are only people who do not have the proper social status in society, so the project is designed to demonstrate the opposite. By telling the real stories of popular personalities who have become victims of cyberbullying, we confirm that this problem can affect everyone. But the most important thing is to prevent the tragic consequences of this phenomenon and to convince the audience that this problem can be solved.
