Mladostniki in kibernetsko nasilje (cyberbullying)

Razvoj digitalne in mobilne tehnologije je prinesel veliko prednosti in lažjega komuniciranja, vendar ima tehnologija tudi negativne posledice, med njimi je tudi kibernetsko nasilje. To nasilje pa je največji problem pri otrocih in mladostnikih. Velikokrat se ne zavedajo kakšne nevarnosti prežijo na njih na spletu, pogosto pa se ne zavedajo niti tega, da so žrtve spletnega nasilja. V uvodnem delu te diplomske naloge smo se osredotočili na samo definicijo ter splošne elemente kibernetskega nasilja ter oblike tega nasilja. Nato smo podrobneje preučili spletno nasilje med mladostniki ter ugotovili, da mladi nadlegujejo predvsem iz dolgčasa, maščevanja, zabave in iskanju pozornosti, nekateri pa si le želijo izpasti »kul«. V nadaljevanju smo pozornost namenili stanju v Sloveniji in ugotovili, da na tem območju ni veliko raziskav na to temo, kibernetsko nasilje pa tudi ni posebej definirano v slovenski zakonodaji. Posledicam nasilja preko spleta in mobilnega telefona pa smo se posvetili v zadnjem delu teoretičnega dela, kjer smo želeli predstaviti znake, ki jih lahko zaznamo pri žrtvi kibernetskega nasilja. Velik problem je namreč tudi neodkritost spletnega trpinčenja, saj ga je težje zaznati, ker znaki pri žrtvi niso jasno vidni kot npr. pri fizičnem nasilju. Kljub temu pa ima kibernetsko nasilje lahko hude posledice, še posebej za mladostnika, ki je še v fazi ustvarjanja samopodobe in samozavesti. V drugem delu pa so predstavljeni rezultati anketnega vprašalnika na temo mladostnikov in kibernetskega nasilja, in sicer med učenci 8. razreda na Osnovni šoli Franceta Bevka Tolmin. Na vprašalnik je odgovarjalo 48 učencev.The advancements made in digital and mobile technology brought many advantages and ease of communication, but it also brings some negative consequences including cyberbullying. This violence is the most prominent in children and youth. More often than not they are not aware what dangers wait for them of the web, frequently they don’t even know they were victims of cyberbullying. At the beginning of this thesis we focused on the definition of cyberbullying, its elements and forms. Then we studied this violence between teenagers in detail and found that teenagers harass mostly because of boredom, revenge, for fun, in seeking attentionor simply to look “cool”. Next we focused on the state in Slovenia and found that very little research has been done on this topic, cyberbullying also isn’t even defined by Slovenian laws. The consequences of cyberbullying over the web and mobile phones were the main point of the last part of the theoretical section. Thought the signs of cyberbullying aren’t easily detected, like for example signs of physical violence, they present a big issue. Cyberbullying can have a huge effect on youth, who are in the process of creating their self-esteem in confidence. The second part presents the results of a questionnaire on the topic of youth and cyberbullying, between 8th grade pupils at primary school Franceta Bevka Tolmin. The questionnaire was answered by 48 students
