The study carried out addresses the risks associated with the use of social networks among adolescents, focusing on the impact on the privacy and integrity of personal data. Through surveys and data analysis in educational institutions, specific risks faced by young people in the digital environment were identified. The ISO 31000 standard was applied to evaluate and classify the identified risks based on their probability of occurrence and their impact on students. Decreased sleep was found to be the most prevalent problem, followed by social isolation and decreased performance. In addition, the practice of sexting was analyzed, thus determining results that marked differences in the negative impacts between men and women, as well as between public and private institutions. These findings highlight the importance of implementing educational and awareness-raising strategies to promote responsible and positive use of social networks among young people.
