The evolution of social media has made it easier for adolescents to access information, communicate, and foster creativity. However, unwise use of social media can lead to various negative consequences, such as addiction, the spread of inappropriate content, cyberbullying, and a decline in face-to-face social interaction. Furthermore, unstructured or unguided social associations can influence the character development and behavior of adolescents. This community service initiative aims to enhance students' understanding of the negative impacts of social media and promiscuous social circles, while fostering the awareness needed to use social media wisely and choose positive social environments. The program was conducted at SMPN 4 Kampung Dalam using a variety of methods, including awareness-raising sessions, presentations, discussions, Q&A sessions, case studies, and mentoring. Participants gained insights into responsible social media use, digital communication ethics, the importance of personal conduct in social interactions, and how to make decisions aligned with religious values and social norms. Evaluation was carried out through observation, discussions, and participant feedback throughout the event. This initiative is expected to improve digital literacy and student awareness regarding the negative influences of social media and social environments, thereby enabling them to cultivate positive, responsible behavior that aligns with religious values.
