Media społeczne jako przestrzeń przemocy rówieśniczej

Abstract

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) play an increasingly significant role in the shaping of young people’s social environment. The communication functions of electronic media are especially popular among adolescents. This ability to interact with others is the unique feature of social media which provides powerful new ways for teens to create and navigate their social environments. Teenagers regularly use the internet, cell phones, and video games to gather information and communicate with each other. Although new technology provides numerous benefits to young people, it also are being used to bully peers.
