Abstract
Relevance. The problem of bullying, as deliberate and systematic aggressive behavior, is becoming increasingly relevant, attracting the attention of both researchers and the general public. Currently, due to the growth of digital technologies, traditional forms of bullying are being transformed, cyberbullying is emerging, which requires rethinking classical approaches to the problem and developing new intervention strategies. The study of bullying in a socio-philosophical context can become the basis for social transformations aimed at combating aggression and violence in society, as well as allow the development of more effective approaches to its prevention and minimization of negative effects. The purpose of this work is a socio-philosophical analysis of the phenomenon of bullying and its consequences. Objectives: to reveal the conceptual framework for analyzing the phenomenon of bullying, its forms and consequences; to trace the features of the historical development of the concept of "bullying"; to identify the level of knowledge of young people about the phenomenon of bullying; to develop recommendations for improving awareness of bullying and its prevention. Methodology. The research procedures are based on the synthesis of theoretical principles of philosophy, sociology and psychology, using general scientific methods of comparison, analysis and synthesis. The empirical basis of this work is the results of the author's sociological research conducted by online survey (N=150). Results. The presented materials present the results of a socio-philosophical analysis of the available scientific ideas about the phenomenon of bullying, as well as quantitative and qualitative sociological measurements that made it possible to determine the level of knowledge of the young population about this phenomenon, its forms and consequences. Conclusions. Many people do not realize the severity of the consequences of bullying, which can occur for both victims and aggressors. This underlines the importance of carrying out a socio-philosophical dimension of this problem and, based on it, developing and implementing programs aimed at raising awareness about bullying, as well as developing skills to counter this phenomenon.
