Abstract
Aggression can manifest in different ways for boys and girls, reflecting unique social and developmental patterns. Boys may exhibit physical or verbal aggression, while girls often display relational aggression, such as excluding others or spreading rumours. Understanding these differences is crucial for addressing the underlying causes and implementing effective interventions. the research underscores the urgent need for collective efforts by families, schools, and society to guide children in using social networks positively. Families play a vital role in fostering open communication, setting boundaries, and modelling appropriate online behaviour. Schools, as key influencers in children’s lives, can incorporate programs that teach digital literacy, empathy, and conflict resolution to help students navigate social networks responsibly. on a broader level, society must prioritize the implementation of necessary regulations to ensure safer online environments. Social media platforms should be held accountable for providing tools to mitigate harmful content, while policymakers can establish guidelines to protect young users from exposure to cyberbullying, misinformation, and inappropriate material. Raising awareness about the potential negative effects of social media is equally essential. Through public campaigns and community initiatives, we can educate children and parents about the impact of excessive social media use on mental health and relationships. by working together, we can empower the younger generation to harness the positive aspects of social networks while minimizing their risks.
