Digital Ethics Counseling on Wise Use of Social Media Among Students of PGRI 56 Ciputat High School

Abstract

Digital ethics counseling is an important step in shaping the character of high school students to be wise in using social media. In today's digital era, students' use of social media is often uncontrolled, which can trigger various negative impacts such as the spread of hoaxes, cyberbullying, privacy violations, and digital dependency. This study aims to provide an understanding of the importance of digital ethics, increase students' awareness of responsibility in cyberspace, and encourage them to use social media positively. Counseling is carried out using interactive methods such as group discussions, case simulations, and the use of interesting audiovisual media. The results of the counseling show an increase in students' understanding of the principles of digital ethics.
