    The objective of this study is to determine the levels of depression in high school students of the Remigio Romero y Cordero Educational Unit in the 2024–2025 school year. The methodology has a quantitative, non-experimental, descriptive approach. The sample is 80 students from first to third year of the Unified General Baccalaureate (BGU) program. The instruments applied correspond to a sociodemographic survey, Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) to measure levels of depression and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) evaluated perceived social support in three dimensions: family, friends and significant people. The results obtained are based on the levels and dimensions of each of the variables, it was possible to characterize the sample studied, which is predominantly male. The age range is between 13 and 19 years old. Through the results, it can be observed that the majority of students present a mild level of depression, as indicated by the Beck inventory. This level of depression, although within a low range, is not clinically significant in the context of this inventory, suggesting that depressive symptoms, at the moment, are not serious or disabling. However, it is essential to highlight that the slight presence of these symptoms should not be ignored, since, although they do not reach a critical level at this time, they can evolve over time if appropriate measures are not taken.
