Adolescence is a transition period from childhood to adulthood. During this period there are many rapid changes that need attention from parents. The use of gadgets at school is considered to have disrupted children's health and social relationships. When a child is addicted to playing online games, it will make the child feel anxious if separated from gadgets. The aim of this community service is for students to understand the dangers of online games.

A series of service activities were carried out for 45 students of SMA N 4 Jambi City. The results of community service obtained an average student knowledge before education of 4.2 and after education of 8.8.
