The highest rates of peer violation occurred in Eastern Europe – the lowest in Scandinavia. The bullying problem is common and requires attention and actions. Peer violence is often hidden from adults. Entanglements between perpetrators and victims may affect on the process making it long-time lasting problem which can lead to serious consequences in personal development as well as health and life of young people. Technology development delivers new tools which can be used for bullying – that is why creating new tools, experience exchange and recognition of various aspects of the problem is a must.
