Abstract

The rapid development of communication and information technology has made various innovations in human life, one of which is the presence of social media. Social media is a platform that can be used in various human activities to find information, communicate, and others. The biggest users of social media are teenagers. The approach in this study uses a literature review to elaborate on the research topic. This study states that the impact of using social media on adolescents has a positive and negative impact. The positive impact of the use of social media for teenagers is that it makes it easier to find information and communicate, improves learning achievement and creativity, and can be socially and economically beneficial. Meanwhile, the negative impacts of using social media on adolescents are addiction and laziness, cyberbullying, pornography, and behavioral changes. Therefore, various efforts are needed so that the negative impact of using social media can be minimized on adolescents, such as having media literacy skills and supervision from parents.
