Social skills and creativity are a key element in the lives of young people, because through these two constructs adolescents can establish positive social relationships and solving any conflict that comes their way. The methodology used for this research has been a systematic review of the literature by searching for documents in the Web of Science, Scopus and PsycINFO databases. For this, two searches have been carried out: a first to identify the sex differences between adolescents in relation to social skills using the descriptors social skills, gender and adolescents; and a second one to find out these sex differences in terms of creativity that has had the descriptors creativity, gender and adolescents. Considering the results obtained, it should be noted that most of the published studies indicate that there are significant differences between adolescents with respect to social skills, with girls being the ones who have the highest level of these social skills. On the other hand, regarding creativity, scientific evidence reveals that there are no differences that allow distinguishing this ability in one sex or another. In short, it has been proven that social skills and creativity enhance positive aspects in adolescents such as good academic performance and high self-esteem, so it is essential that educational institutions work on these skills.
