The end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century were marked by the development of information and communication technologies. The changes that have taken place and encompassed the whole world have brought with them a new way of growing up for younger generations and led many researchers to think about what youth and childhood look like when they are shaped by new ways of playing, having fun, communicating, learning and other things brought on by new technology. There are a lot of studies that focus on the ways in which young people use the Internet and social networks, and the findings indicate that their time spent on social networks can be both constructive and destructive. This paper focuses on studying the relationship between environmental factors related to the families of young people, more precisely their parents, and involvement in violence on social networks. The study was conducted in June 2020 using the online questionnaire method on a sample of 145 pupils of School of Economics, Office Management and Commerce, Zadar. The results show a correlation between the quality of communication in the family and participation in violence on social networks, but no correlation was obtained between participation in violence on social networks and parental use of social networks.
