Abstract

Bullying is a worrying form of violence that affects children and adolescents all over the world, being characterized by repetitive and intentional aggressive behavior that occurs in an unequal way of power. With the advancement of technology and the popularization of the internet, bullying has gained a new dimension with cyberbullying, which occurs through digital platforms. This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of bullying, with a special focus on cyberbullying, within schools and today. The main characteristics, the negative effects on the lives of young people and the prevention and intervention strategies adopted in schools will be explored. In addition, the specific challenges faced in the digital context will be investigated. The methodology used consists of a comprehensive bibliographic review, including academic sources, scientific articles, books and relevant reports. The bibliographic review will allow a critical analysis of the available information and the identification of gaps in existing knowledge. The central issue addressed is the need for attention and action in relation to the problem of bullying, whether in the school or virtual environment. It is essential to understand the nature of the phenomenon, its impacts on victims and school communities, in addition to developing effective prevention and intervention strategies. The present study aims to contribute to the knowledge about bullying and provide subsidies for the implementation of policies and programs to combat this form of violence, with the aim of promoting a safe, inclusive and bullying-free school environment.
