The purpose of the study was to compare sexting, grooming, stalking, and sexual harassment behaviors in high school students in the state of Veracruz based on sociodemographic variables. The sample included 204 students (14-19 years old) who answered a sociodemographic form, the AMAI 2022 test, the sexual harassment questionnaire for medical students (CASEM, Silva, 2013), the sexting questionnaire (Gámez-Guadix, et al., 2015) and the adult solicitation and interaction questionnaire (Gámez-Guadix, et al., 2017). A total of 77.9% indicated some type of sexual harassment and stalking, 39.2% sexting and 52.5% grooming. Sexual harassment and bullying were higher in females, sexting was higher in males, and grooming was similar in both sexes. There were no differences based on socioeconomic level, while a sexual orientation other than heterosexual or using social networks for more than 6 hours increases the presence of the variables.
