- Abstract
Peer violence in the virtual world is a school-based and public health problem that causes serious consequences, which is why it is necessary to examine to what extent students in Zagreb’s secondary schools experience peer violence in the virtual world, whether there are gender differences in the experience of peer violence in the virtual world and how they use the Internet and social networks. The survey was conducted by questioning 451 students in secondary schools in Zagreb. Research findings have shown that most students, both girls and boys, have experience with all examined forms of peer violence in the virtual world. In addition, it was shown that boys had more experience than girls with threats and malicious writing of commentaries on the photographs and statuses of the victim. Research findings point to the importance of directing students to alternative ways of spending leisure time and education about violence in the virtual world and the responsible use of the Internet.
