Sexting as a form of cyberbullying in adolescence

This thesis is focused on problems of the sexting as a form of cyber-bullying in adolescent children. The sexting is a new phenomenon that arose from two English words "sex" and "text". This is about sending nude photos by a mobile phone or via an internet. The Czech street work association defines sexting as: "electronic dissemination of text messages, your own photos or your own videos with sexual content, occurs in the environment of virtual electronic media the internet in particular. Between platforms that allow the dissemination of these materials include nowadays in particular social networks-Facebook, Myspace, Libimseti.cz or digital photo storage Rajce.cz." (43) Mostly girls or boys to take and send a photo or video to an opposite sex, to get their attention. However, do not realize that photographs can be send on and stop it can be very difficult. These children eventually adolescents become victims of cyber-bullying which is defined by Price and Dalgleish as: "the collective designation forms of bulling through electronic media such as the internet and mobile phones, which are used to aggressive and international damage to the users of media. As well as traditional bullying and cyberbullying involves recurring behavior and disparity of power between the aggressor and the victim." (15, s. 20). Also in the Bachelor thesis I limit the teen age as: "Teenage period includes the age between the 11th and the 15th year, therefore, compulsory school attendance on the second level. It is often referred to as puberty or pubescence." (33, s. 27). This work is divided into a theoretical part and a research part. The main aim of the practical part the most it is to determine whether it met the teenage children of the sexting, which was a form of cyber-bullying. A further aim is also to find out in which age groups, adolescents, is the most sexing appears. The practical part is processed by a method of quantitative research. Those that meet the parameters were included in the draw. After that I called the order in selected schools. In the case of a refusal, I continued further in the draw until I received the required number of schools, which then conducted data collection using printed questionnaires in classrooms on the 2nd level of primary schools. Finally, there were selected 9 elementary schools in the district České Budějovice. The primary schools were divided into 3 groups based on where they were located: City, town, village. The questionnaire was fulfilled by 685 respondents. The evaluation of results was done in the STATA software 12. Method of verification of hypotheses ran in a Chi-trimester test of a good match. H1: Teenagers are confronted also with sexting, which is a form of a Cyber -bullying related and there was focused research questions No. 5: Have you ever taken a photo or a record yourself partially or completely undressed? 9. Have you ever taken a photo or record someone partially or totally stripped (naked)? 11. Have someone send you a material, where he (she) is partially or completely stripped? 13. Were you trying to embarrass someone by this kind of material? Have you share photos or videos of your friends where they were partially undressed sometimes? This hypothesis has been confirmed. H2: Teenagers, who sexting are aware of a less risk than children who do not sexting. For this hypothesis include the question No. 18. Are you aware of the risk, what brings the sending of photos or videos over the internet? I rejected this hypothesis right at the beginning, since the research has shown that the children do not practise sexting such an extent to determine the statistical significance of these two variables. H3: Pupils of the 9th classes are practising sexting more that pupils of the 6th classes. The research questions related to the H3 were: the 2nd: Do you visit the 6th, the 7th, the 8th, the 9th class? This hypothesis has been confirmed
