The article is based on the need to systematize studies on cyberbullying of young people and adolescents through social networks. The scope of the research is exploratory and the objective was to carry out a literature review to determine the main trends on this social and criminal fact. The methodology was organized by search strategy in the Redalyc, Latindex, DOAJ and ERIH PLUS databases, with a temporal closure of 15 years (2007-2022). The sample analyzed was 25 papers under the established inclusion criteria. The established categories were: harassment in social networks; non-consensual pornographic content, sexting, grooming or training; and hate speech. The results show an increase in these practices in recent years as a consequence of the proliferation of time spent on the Internet by young people and adolescents, the advancement of information and communication technologies (ICTs) and the refinement of criminal practices to bypass controls. Above all, this has a high impact on populations of young people and vulnerable adolescents.
