Popis: During the Danish Covid-19 lockdowns in 2020 and 2021 schools were closed for several months, leaving the school activities to be digitally mediated and children and young people to be physically distanced from their friends and social communities. Young people were thus forced to build and maintain their social relationships and negotiate inclusion and exclusion through social and digital media such as Facebook, Snapchat and TikTok. Such media are on the one hand beneficial because they enable new forms and possibilities for social interactions, but on the other hand they may also facilitate more subtle forms of bullying and experiences of exclusion (Smahel et al., 2020; Kofoed, 2014). While research about young people’s lives during Covid-19 mostly concerns the educational implications of digitally mediated teaching (see e.g. Wistoft et al., 2021; Pozzoli et al., 2021) and their mental health and well-being (see e.g. Rogers et al, 2021; Walters et al., 2021), studies concerning young people’s ways of maintaining social relations and communities and their experiences of social exclusion and belonging through the social-digital conditions of the pandemic are crucial in order to increase our understanding of how bullying processes may emerge. ObjectivesHow are loneliness and non-belonging experienced by Danish young people during Covid-19?How do these new conditions enact new ways for bullying to emerge when the young people go back to school?
