Abstract
School bullying remains a persistent issue that negatively affects students' well-being and academic performance. Private educational institutions face unique challenges in addressing this problem due to limited resources and teacher training. This literature review explores the use of emerging technologies - such as virtual reality (VR), mobile applications, and artificial intelligence (AI) - as innovative tools to prevent and mitigate school bullying. Recent studies that implement these technologies in educational settings were analyzed to assess their effectiveness and applicability. The findings suggest that such tools can foster empathy, facilitate anonymous reporting, and enable early detection of incidents, contributing to the development of safer and more supportive school environments. © 2025 IEEE.
