This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of adolescent hate on social media, focusing on trends and insights from 2013 to 2025. By collecting data from the Scopus database, this research aims to identify publication patterns, leading authors, and emerging themes within the related literature. The results of the analysis indicate a significant growth in the number of publications, with a total of 267 documents published and an annual growth rate of 14.35%. The peak of publications occurred in 2023, reflecting the increasing relevance of this issue among researchers. However, despite the rise in publication numbers, there has been a notable decline in the number of citations after 2017, suggesting the need for a critical evaluation of the quality and relevance of existing research. This study also highlights the importance of a balanced approach in understanding the impact of social media, considering both its negative and positive aspects. The implications of these findings are highly significant for the direction of future research, as well as for formulating policies that are more responsive to the needs of adolescents. Thus, this research not only serves as a source of information but also acts as a catalyst for more proactive measures in addressing the issue of hate on social media and creating a safe online environment for adolescents. © ICRES 2025.All rights reserved.
