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