Teenagers who follow homosexual love stories are often viewed as showing behavioral deviation that conflicts with religious and social values. This study describes the existence of fujoshi and fudanshi adolescents by examining self-closing, addiction, apathy, and emotionality, and evaluates how family functions can address their character. A descriptive qualitative design is used, with participant observation, interviews, and documentation, analyzed through data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. Credibility, dependability, and confirmability tests ensure validity. Findings indicate that applying family functions—religion, love, protection, reproduction, socialization, and education—helps mitigate problematic behaviors, while parents should actively monitor children’s social media.

Adolescence is a period of searching for identity and a period of transition from childhood to adulthood (Wijayanti et al. , 2020). Adolescence from the Latin word is adolensence which means to grow or grow into adulthood (Putri et al., 2016) . Grow here is not only in the physical dimension of adolescents but also in the context of intellectual, psychosocial, self-esteem, intimacy, and others. The term adolescence has a broader mean which includes mental, emotional, social, and physical maturity. At this age, adolescents are faced with changes that occur to them. Changes that are expected to occur in adolescents are of course changes in a positive direction, considering that youth are assets of the state as the younger generation who will continue the ideals ofthe nation, lead, and govern the country. Teenagers as the next generation of the nation, should get a good education so that they have the ability to continue the nation's noble ideals (Agung Jaya Suryawan, 2016) . However, to realize youth asa virtuous generation is not easy. Various challenges must be faced by adolescents to complete their developmental tasks in adolescence. The existence of developmental tasks for adolescents can make adolescents feel complex problems within themselves
