    This study analyzes how social pressure and excessive use of technology influence the emotional well-being of adolescents. The aim of this research was to determine the relationship between sexting behaviors and anxiety in adolescents. A sample of 100 male and female participants was taken, ranging in age from 12 to 18 years old. This study is a non-experimental quantitative approach, cross-sectional and correlational in scope. For the variables studied, the Behavioral Scale on sexting ECS adapted by Chacón-López et al. (2016) and the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) developed by Clark & Beck (2012) were used. To obtain the results, the Spearman correlation test was applied, finding that there was a slight positive correlation between anxiety and active disposition (Rho= 0.210 p<0.05), and participation (Rho= 0.225 p<0.05), but there was no relationship with emotional expression (Rho=0.061 p>0.05). These data allowed concluding that those who have an active disposition towards sexting and a greater participation in this practice tend to experience anxiety symptoms.
