Social media is a page or a collection of applications that allow its users to share anything among the wider community to the world. Social media as an online media can be used by the community to interact and communicate online which can be reached from anywhere and anytime and at any distance. Excessive and uncontrolled use of social media will affect bad behavior for its users. It is undeniable that social media has a big influence in a person's life. A small person can become big because of social media, and vice versa. Especially for teenagers, now social media has become an addiction that makes them not a day without opening social media until they forget the time. For teenagers who are still in the phase of finding their identity, this social media will certainly have an influence on them through the content or posts they access through social media. So there needs to be limits and monitoring when someone is using social media.
