SOCIAL MEDIA AND CHILDREN: CYBERBULLYING, ITS CONSEQUENCES AND IMPACT

We can say that now social media is at the peak of its capabilities. But you need to remember that social media has both a positive side and a negative one. This issue is particularly acute when it comes to vulnerable sections of society, such as children and adolescents. UNICEF researchers cite statistics that every year 175,000 children find themselves on the Internet for the first time. At the moment, it is known that every third Internet user is a child. Despite this, we cannot fully ensure their safety. The issue of quality online content also remains relevant. In this regard, one of the main problems in the development of social media is cyberbullying.
