Resumen
Introducción
Con el desarrollo de nuevas tecnologías, la interacción entre las personas es cada vez más rápida y efectiva. Infortunadamente, estas herramientas han favorecido que el bullying (acoso) tradicional haya sobrepasado los límites del plantel escolar de forma virtual y que hayan dado lugar al ciberbullying. Objetivo: Describir y precisar sus diversas características, señalar algunos aspectos inherentes al bullying tradicional y revisar las diferencias entre ambos fenómenos.
MétodosBúsqueda computarizada de información utilizando bases de datos electrónicas.
ResultadosCerca del 40% de los alumnos han tenido algún tipo de contacto con el ciberbullying y se estima que uno de cada cuatro estudiantes está involucrado en este problema. El riesgo de ser cibervictimizado se duplica al tener un perfil en una red social electrónica. El 50% de las víctimas no comunica a nadie sobre la problemática o rara vez lo hacen, lo que implica un riesgo mayor de volver a ser ciberintimidado. Las consecuencias más graves generadas por el ciberbullying son depresión, ideación suicida y, en el peor de los casos, intentos suicidas u homicidas.
ConclusionesLa práctica del ciberbullying representa en los hogares y las escuelas una problemática de actualidad y de suma importancia que debe tratarse integralmente. Se debe dar prioridad a la prevención e identificación oportuna.

Abstract
Introduction
With the development of new technologies interactions between people are becoming faster and more effective. Unfortunately, this means that traditional bullying has moved from the schoolyard to a virtual form giving rise to cyberbullying.
ObjectiveTo describe and define the characteristics of cyberbullying, to show some aspects inherent in traditional bullying, and to review the differences between the two phenomena.
MethodsComputerized search of information using electronic databases.
ResultsAbout 40% of students have had some contact with cyberbullying and it is estimated that one in four students is involved in this problem. The risk of being cyberbullied is doubled if they have a profile on a social network. 50% of victims do not tell anybody about the problem, which means a higher risk of being cyberbullied again. The most severe consequences produced by cyberbullying are depression, suicidal ideation, and suicidal or homicidal attempts.
ConclusionsThe practice of cyberbullying is currently an important problem in homes and schools that must be treated in an integral manner, giving priority to prevention and early identification.
