Resumen: Abstract. Cyberbullying is a phenomenon that occurs worldwide, affects the youngest from a very early age and is increasing. Despite the fact that there is multiple research on the relationship between traditional bullying,psychological damage and the family and school context, there is very little scientific research on the influence of cyberbullying on the social environment of children and adolescents. Through a quantitative methodology, this research carried out in young students from 12 educational institutions in the city of Ibarra, Republic Ecuador, in the period 2019–2020, to determine which gender is the most vulnerable to suffer from cyberbullying, establish a range of ages with which it is possible to analyze in which stage of adolescence this crime occurs more frequently, to know in which educational institutions (prosecutors, private individuals, government agencies) there is a higher rate of presence of cyberbullying, to understand the dependence on the most used social networks of the affected people, on who has the great impact. The misuse of social networks has led to a prolongation of intervention against this type of harassment, and it is of utmost importance to include the family and educational institutions in cyberbullying prevention programas.
