description Bullying is a problem immersed in our society and that may develop through physical or verbal attacks, as well as through the use of new technologies. The present work aims to analyze what is the predominant use of the term bullying in the discourse in the networks. The methodology consisted of compiling a series of tweets provided from the social network Twitter which were subsequently analyzed. The results show that the majority of the users use the term bullying in their opinions in an adjusted way, that is, in a correct way. Even so, there are also many occasions in which the subjects use this term in an inappropriate way since it is applied with a certain tone of humor, which causes the importance of the term itself to be diminished. Therefore, it is necessary to reinforce the importance of this issue.

El bullying es un problema inmerso en la sociedad y que se desarrolla mediante ataques físicos o verbales en presencia, así como a través del uso de las TIC. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar cuál es el uso predominante del término bullying por el discurso en las redes. Para eso, la metodología ha consistido en recopilar una serie de tuits proporcionados de la red social Twitter que posteriormente han sido analizados. Los resultados muestran que la mayoría de los usuarios utilizan este término en sus opiniones de una manera ajustada, es decir, de forma correcta. Aun así, también son muchas las ocasiones en las que los sujetos lo emplean de una manera poco correcta, ya que se aplica con cierto tono de humor. Esto provoca que se le reste la importancia que el propio término posee. Por tanto, es necesario refozar la importancia de esta temática.
