    The present research refers to social skills and self-esteem, and its objective was to determine how social skills influence the self-esteem of ninth and tenth grade students of General Basic Education of the “Joaquín Lalama” Educational Unit. Chapter I developed the theoretical framework on: social skills and self-esteem, noting their importance, types and strategies to improve them, since they are important for personal development, emotional and academic well-being. For the development of this research a mixed approach was used combining qualitative and quantitative techniques. The level was exploratory, descriptive and correlational with the purpose of analyzing the relationship between social skills and self-esteem in the sample of 97 students. It had a cross-sectional design to collect data at a specific time. The modality was bibliographic-documentary and field based on a previous literature review and integrated with the collection of information by means of standardized instruments. Two scales were used for data collection: Goldstein's Social Skills Scale and Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale. The Chi-square statistic was used to analyze the data because it is the appropriate method for analyzing data from two categorical variables. The calculated Chi-square was 140.170 and the tabular Chi-square 124.342, showing a significant correlation between the independent variable and the dependent variable, because the calculated Chi-square is greater than the tabulated Chi-square. It was concluded that social skills DO influence students' self-esteem, this finding highlights the importance of implementing strategies to improve social skills.
