Bulling: analysis of regulatory documents

Abstract

The relevance of the research lies in the fact that universal methods of combating the problem of bullying prevention in school have not been created yet, many teachers do not notice or do not want to notice bullying among teenagers, because of this, the necessary support and help is not provided to both victims and offenders. “Bullying” begins to take on new forms, more often it occurs in the Internet space, such a phenomenon is called “cyberbullying”. Scientists have different interpretations of this term, but the common definition of “bullying” is that it is a phenomenon of terror, violence, aggression, and stereotypes of interaction. Despite the fact that there is still no single clear definition of this concept, all scientists agree that bullying is harassment that takes place over a long period of time. Despite the prevalence of “bullying” in modern society, in our country this problem is not adequately investigated, discussed, and fully covered in the mass media. The Laws of Ukraine “On the Protection of Childhood” and “On the Prevention and Counteraction of Domestic Violence” indicate that persons guilty of violating the requirements of the legislation on the protection of childhood, or those who have committed violence in the family, bear criminal, administrative or civil law responsibility, in accordance with the laws of Ukraine.
