Abstract : This study investigates the relationship between web-based engagement and the conforming behavior of junior high school students. In the digital age, students are increasingly exposed to online platforms that influence their behaviors and attitudes. This research aims to explore how students’ engagement with web-based content (such as social media, educational platforms, and gaming) correlates with their conforming behaviors in school and society. Through a quantitative approach, this study uses surveys to gather data on students' online activities and their behavior patterns, focusing on the extent to which their online engagement influences their conformity to social norms, peer expectations, and classroom behavior. The study offers insights into the role of digital platforms in shaping adolescent behavior and contributes to the development of strategies for fostering positive behavior among students.
