This paper focuses on the analysis of pro-social behavior in high school students from Pasto and Bucaramanga (Colombia). 2.694 students between 11 and 17 years old (1.878 from Pasto and 816 from Bucaramanga) were sampled and a Pro-social Behavior Scale of Teenage Inventory of Social Skills (TISS) was administered. As a result, this research shows teenagers from Pasto showed higher levels of pro-social behavior than those from Bucaramanga. Socio-environmental variables, such as culture, sex, age or nationality influence students' pro-social behavior development and maintenance.
