Abstract
Adolescent development is important to be
reviewed, because each individual passes through
adolescence in his life span. Adolescents must be able
to develop all the good potential that exists in them so
that they can pass through their development without
being stressed and full of doubt. So the theory that
says adolescence is identical to the age of the storm
and stress is wrong. Today more and more
adolescents experience obstacles in carrying out their
development tasks even though adolescents are
required to be able to adapt to the times while
maintaining a strong faith, not involved in drugs,
addictive to pornography, having free sex, and being
victims of sexual abuse. The goal to be achieved is
how the development of adolescents is able to pass
through the critical phase by not experiencing severe
pressure, so that it impacts on negative behavior.
development tasks if not supported by a healthy
environment. Completion of adolescent problems
requires review by examining integrative and
comprehensive knowledge about how the concept of
adolescents is able to raise their consciousness as the
most valuable creature of God in the world and
become the hope of the nation and state.

friendships. But in fact, Gadgets can have an adverse
impact on users, especially among adolescents
because accidentally they can suddenly display
pornographic images or content. It's so easy to access
the internet from gadgets and lack of parental
supervision, so teenagers sometimes use the internet
to access pornographic content such as stories, video
images because teenagers have a high sense of
curiosity (Tamburaka, 2013, in Dusra, 2017).
Based on data from the National Family
Planning Coordinating Board, teenagers who have
been dating and how to express affection by feeling /
