This article aims to describe and analyze the types of cyberbullying in young adults. For this, a qualitative research was carried out in which open and unstructured interviews were conducted with 25 young adults from Medellín, Colombia. One of the results is a classification of cyberbullying into six types: information theft, online defamation, digital impersonation, cyber harassment, sextortion and revenge porn. At the same time, the article explores the motivations of aggressors and the effects of cyberbullying on victims.

Keywords : cyberbullying; digital technologies; young cyber aggressors; cyber victims.
