The development of information technology has increased the use of online games among adolescents. This phenomenon has attracted attention because the use of online game is associated with adolescents' social ethics in their daily lives. This study aims to describe the social ethics of adolescent who play online games and the forms of social control exercised by the community regarding adolescents’ use of online games in Gampong Lampanah, Indrapuri District, Aceh Besar Regency. This study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. The research subjects consisted of 14 participants, including 10 parents of adolescent online game users and 4 community leaders selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, and were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the social ethics of adolescents who play online games in Gampong Lampanah have experienced a shift in the implementation of the sosial values upheld by the community. This shift is reflected in the decreased initiative of some adolescents in carrying out household responsibilities, reduced responsiviness when called by their parents while playing online games, declining initiative in learning, reduced participation in social and religious activities, and the emergence of impolite language while playing online games. The social ethical values upheld by the community of Gampong Lampanah include respecting older people, complying with social norms, customs, and prevailing regulations, as well as fulfilling social and religious responsibilities. These values are still maintained, although some adolescents still require guidance and supervision in their implementation. Social control is carried out through informal and preventive approaches, including advice, reprimands, supervision, and restrictions on gaming time. However, the implementation of social control has not yet been optimal, indicating the need for stronger cooperation between families and community leaders. The efforts needed include improving parental and community supervision and guidance, as well as adolescents’ ability to manage their online gaming time. Future researchers may further examine self-control, game time management, and the role of parents and the community in shaping the social ethics of adolescents.
