Adolescents with an age range of 15-21 years as one of the stages in a phase of life that need serious attention. This is because adolescence is a period of transition and the process of searching for identity as a human being. If this crucial period is not cared for and nurtured properly, it can cause teenagers to go the wrong way, destroy themselves, and disrupt public order. A lot of information shows the negative impact caused by teenagers because of the lack of guidance from the people around them.
In the process of finding the identity of teenagers, it is very important that these teenagers are exposed to positive activities. During this Covid-19 pandemic, many tournaments and competitions have been suspended. Even the training schedule was reduced to reduce the spread of the Corona virus. However, this reduction in activity does not mean these young people have lost hope, but we must still care in the process of directing, guiding, and keeping them away from bad activities. Activities that require them not to go anywhere often cause boredom so that they end up busy with their cellphones or interacting on social media. We hear a lot on the news, that people are dealing with cases of humiliation, or engaging in activities that lead to negative things on social media by teenagers. Therefore, it is important to use this time to guide teenagers to get to know their self-concept and teach them how to use social media to be wiser and more productive.
This time abdimas activity was carried out in the form of a webinar by presenting two resource persons, namely Dr. Nidya Dudija and Dini Salmiyah, S.S., M.Si moderated by Dr. Fetty Poerwita Sary. In this webinar, participants learn self-concept which consists of how teenagers know themselves (self image), how teenagers respect themselves before others (self esteem), and the idol figure that teenagers want to achieve (ideal self). and guidelines for using social media wisely and productively by learning about personal branding, the power of social media, and personal branding through social media
