The first chapter is about a cyber bullying which students of the second grade at elementary schools often experienced with. The second chapter is dedicated to social networks, which are often used by teenagers. Students spend abnormal amount of time on social networks and the cyber-attacks take place there. In the third chapter I describe "netolismus", the addiction to the internet. Nowadays this addiction is made very often and very quickly. In the fourth chapter I focus on a prevention of cyber bullying at elementary schools which is really important.

The result shows us that the problematic usage of the internet is related to the age and the class in which the students are at the moment. The results revealed that 44 % of students of the second degree at elementary schools have the internet in the top three of their value lists. It was found out that 33 % of students spend more and more time on the internet, and not because of school´s duties. Although 30 % of students tried to restrict the time they spend on the internet, but with no success. As the results show, 19 % of students hide their online life from others.
