Abstract
The article discusses the current problem of cyber socialization of adolescents in the context of digital transformation of society. Based on the analysis of modern research, the essence of the concept of cyber socialization and its specifics in adolescence are clarified. The main focus is on identifying and justifying the system of pedagogical conditions necessary to ensure positive and safe cyber socialization of students in a general education school. These conditions include: the creation of a holistic educational system that fosters digital culture and citizenship; the integration of content aimed at developing media literacy and critical thinking; and the organization of socio-psychological support based on the development of trusting relationships between students, teachers, and parents. The article concludes that effective cyber socialization is possible only through a systematic, interdisciplinary approach that brings together the efforts of all participants in the educational process.
