Any communication activity of a group or individuals on the Internet whose purpose is to humiliate, tease and threaten others is considered peer electronic violence. That kind of violence includes malicious messages and websites with posts that harm the victim. Electronic violence leaves more consequences than the traditional form. The most common consequences that stand out are suicidal thoughts, returning to the abuser with the same measure, depression, low self-esteem, frustration, anxiety, and suicide. This thesis presents the results of a study conducted on a sample of 70 adolescents. The aim of the research was to examine the perception of adolescents about cyberbullying on social media regarding to determine what cyberbullying is for respondents and how they would define it, how would they act in such a situation, what sanctions are appropriate and what is effective for addressing this type of violence. The research was conducted using the method of an online survey via the social networks Facebook and Instagram on 70 adolescents. The results showed that cyberbullying for the respondents represented psychological abuse and harassment of another person who was helpless. They believe that most of them would know how to act in a situation where the victim asks them for help, whether it is a close person or a stranger. They also offered good solutions to mitigate the consequences of cyberbullying, which include listening to the victim, conversation, helping to report the abuser and other. What they believe is effective in preventing cyberbullying is reporting abusers and talking to professional associates who they believe do not do enough to prevent this type of violence. According to the stated sanctions that would be given to the abuser, the Criminal Code on Electronic Violence should tighten the sanctions.
