Abstract

Bullying and mobbing remain an acute social problem, reproduced in educational, professional and digital environments and intensified in conditions of hypervisibility and algorithmic publicity. They increasingly appear not as private conflicts but as persistent mechanisms of social exclusion, affecting mental health and social inclusion. Increased competition, moral polarization and digital sanctioning increase the risks of stigmatization and reputational pressure.
