    In the digital age, phubbing has emerged as a growing concern, describing the trend of prioritizing the phone over social interactions. This behavior, although it may seem harmless, significantly impacts personal relationships and emotional well-being, especially in educational settings such as high school. Social skills, essential for personal and academic development, are affected by the excessive use of technological devices such as mobile phones, which can hinder the ability to interact effectively with others. This study focused on investigating the relationship between first- and second-year high school students. The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship of Phubbing and social skills in firstand second-year high school students of the La Merced-Ambato Educational Unit. The study was carried out with a quantitative approach, using a descriptive and correlational design. We worked with a sample of 60 first and second high school students. For the analysis of variables, Cumpa's Phubbing Scale (2017) and Goldstein's Social Skills Evaluation Scale (1980) were applied through a survey in Google Forms. The results revealed high levels of Phubbing in dimensions such as anxiety-insomnia (58.3%), dependency (60.0%) and interpersonal relationships (53.3%). In contrast, a normal level of social skills was found in the sample studied. A strong negative correlation (-0.678) was identified between phubbing and social skills, indicating that excessive mobile phone use is associated with a significant reduction in students' ability to interact effectively unsocial situations, manage emotions, plan appropriately. and resolve conflicts without resorting to aggression. This study highlights the importance of addressing Phubbing as a problem that can affect the social and emotional development of first and second high school students, underlining the need to promote a balanced and conscious use of technology to promote healthy social skills in this population through strategic programs to address the latent problem
