educational levels. However, these risks remain a reality everywhere in the world, turning into a
problem that is rapidly globalizing due to the widespread access to the Internet. The Internet has
permeated our entire society and is now present in almost every activity. The education and most
aspects associated with it, such as Social Risks, are not exempt of this new form of communication
within our society. This has led to a significant increase in damage Social Risks can exhort on the
victims, due to several causes such as their capacity for dissemination, repetition and virality; greater
anonymity of aggressors and the chance for more people joining them; continuity over time even when
after school hours; display of intimacy before an endless crowd of people; ease of permanent control
through geolocation, control of online statuses and connections; and even the risk of easily
impersonating a victim. The first step to prevent these issues is to carry out a study on the current
state of Social Risks. An updated snapshot would allow to draw up action plans based on reliable data
and develop countermeasures to minimize the damage caused by current Social Risks to minors. The
objective of this work is to conduct a study on unsolicited data obtained from Social Media on three of
the most prominent Social Risks of our society, namely Bullying, Addictions and Xenophobia within the
field of education, with the aim of obtaining an updated snapshot of their current status. The study was
carried out during the second semester of 2017 and the first semester of 2018, quantifying the
presence and emotion of said risks in Social Media, determining the most relevant terms, as well as
the most used communication channels

Exploring the perceived negative and positive long-term impact of adolescent bullying victimization: A cross-national investigation
Adolescent bullying victimization can have long-term mental health and well-being outcomes. This study focused on the potential mediating role of the perceived long-term negative and positive impact of adolescent bullying victimization to understand its relations with mental health and well-being problems during emerging adulthood. A retrospective study consisting of closed and open-ended questions was conducted among 1010 Flemish and 650 Dutch emerging adults aged 18-26. Path analyses among early victims (N-Flemish = 644; N-Dutch = 217) demonstrated that the relations between bullying victimization intensity and current self-esteem, social interaction anxiety, and life satisfaction were all mediated by the perceived negative long-term impact of adolescent bullying victimization. Additionally, the open-ended questions provided a better understanding of the perceived negative and positive impact of adolescent bullying victimization. The present study offers insights into the importance of considering subjective perceptions of the overall impact of being bullied to understand long-term bullying victimization outcomes. Implications and limitations are discussed, including the need for longitudinal data-for instance, a three-wave panel study-to establish the temporal order of effects
