Summary/Abstract: The central theme of the article is the phenomenon of online communities within cyberspace. We reflect on why they are important for many adolescents who experience unacceptance and failure in their lives, and above all we draw attention to the downsides of cyberspace and the risks these young people may encounter. This current and little explored topic is supported by research on the role-playing game operators and players. Based on the results, we are considering how to maximalize cyber space prevention and make the cyber environment safer.
