Abstract
Information and communication technologies (ICT) play more and more significant role in the lives of children and young people. Adolescents use ICT to communicate with others via chat, instant messenger, online communities, etc. They take online offers and services concerning music, pictures or videos to entertain themselves; to search for new knowledge and information, and to acquire and to use the online game offers. The majority of ICT is used in a constructive and peaceful manner, bringing no negative online experiences, which can be perceived as stressful, but this is not the case for all adolescents. The online world similarly as the physical world can bring danger, and the possible danger that adolescents encounter today in the online world is cyber-bullying.
In the present contribution, we address to the online risk of cyberbullying among adolescents. The article deals with the following questions - how cyber-mobing can be defined from the research perspective, how many adolescents are affected by it in Germany, what makes cyberbullying specific, what do we know about the victims and the perpetrators, what are the possible consequences, and what are the recommendations for adolescents and adults (parents, teachers and educators) who are dealing with cyberbullying problems.
