SOCIALIZATION FOR THE PREVENTION OF ADOLESCENT PROBLEMS AT DUSUN CILELE WANAJAYA, KARAWANG

Abstract

Child marriage and drug abuse are two adolescent problems that are closely related to our environment. Based on this condition, this problem can be a very important concern for the government and the society. Indonesia is one of developing countries in Asia that has many social problems, such as child marriage and drug abuse. The negative impacts of child marriage and drug abuse are discontinuation of education, economic instability, violation of law, age falsification, and health problems especially in girls. After several surveys and considerations on the ideal place and SDGs we were trying to aim for, Dusun Cilele was qualified to be our target demographic. The Socialization for The Prevention of Adolescent Problems program at Dusun Cilele Wanajaya Karawang, aims to socialized information about the prevention and negative impact of child marriage and drug abuse to the students and parents. In this program, the theory that we used was Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Number 4 about Quality Education. The method that we implemented was giving materials in a fun, easy to understand, and reflections at the end of every session to be the benchmark for the understanding of the material that has been given. As a result of this program, we received a warm welcome, high enthusiasm, and our socialization information was well received by students and parents at Dusun Cilele.
