Activities undertaken using social media is indirectly have removed any limits on socializing, with this we can socialize anywhere and anytime with all the people in any corner of the world. Anthony Giddens said, "With the moderinitas relationship of space and time is lost then the room slowly separated from the place". (Ritzer, George Ritzer and J. Gooman, Douglas., Teori Sosiologi  Dari Teori Sosiologi Klasik Sampai Perkembangan Mutakhir Teori Sosiologi Postmodern. 2008: 617). This reinforces the theory that Social Media is growing rapidly will remove restrictions in social community.

For teenagers, social media is not just a tool to get information or simply interacting with someone, but also as a lifestyle that is required for them. Therefore, social media is now a big impact in people's lives, this can not be separated from all everyday activities. When the mobile phone develops quickly, easily one can access it all with just a heartbeat and do it whenever and wherever.

In this era of globalization as everything can be easy, people's lives become tasted instant. All can be done well without us having to come to the object of our desire. As we will order a meal, we just need to book through a person who has been employed by an application that has been linked to a smartphone that we have. For example GoFood services, in this application we also can order people to lead us to a place that is often called Gojek and also perform any transactions using an application installed on the smartphone. We will discuss the impact of positive and negative impacts that occur in children who begin using these social media.

The emergence of social media is considered too open to someone who is too expose his personal life to the outside world. Everyone will know we are clearly and that this will make a danger to himself without realizing it. Often we expose our lives to others the greater evil that will come to us. Many people are not aware that turns social media affects a person's personality. Personality that grew up with the culture.

Impact caused by the use of social media can impact both positive and negative for the consumer. It depends on each person in restricting itself and to distinguish good and bad that they can. If we are to avoid developments that exist today, the public response would state that we have "outdated" or do not understand the existing technology. Actually, we can easily avoid this, do that with not too dependent by smart phone and use it when we need it. In this day and age is very dependent on her mobile respectively, even when they move in the bathroom, they still carry the smart phone. Why do people in this era of globalization quickly to adapt to new things? In a book that talks about Social Psychology says, "Basically, people adjust for two main reasons. The first is the behavior of others to provide useful information. With the social media, all information can be accessed quickly. The second is that we adapt because they want to be socially acceptable and avoid censure. Already many people are using social media as a tool that is compulsory and it makes mindseat everyone to be the same ". (Sears, David O., et al. Psikologi Sosial Jilid 2. 1985: 80)

Actually there are many advantages that we can get through this social media, depending on how good we choose which is considered good and which is considered to be bad for us. The positive impact of Social Media greatly assist parties who wisely use such as for business and all kinds of social interactions that do not need physical contact. The information can get from social media is very useful for the students to support all of their tasks. Communication is done remotely can tighten the brotherhood. Next is the negative impact that Social Media was given to us as follows:

Attitudes are always selfish and do not care about the state of other people's invitation as a result of us too often we focus on the virtual world.

Personal problems are now even exposed to social media properties that result in reduced privacy, which wasted a lot of time as a result we are too often interact with the virtual world. It becomes difficult to communicate about the environment near us. Nowadays many cases Cyberbulliying done by people, this case was done in the virtual world and the perpetrators totally irresponsible.

The role of parents is also very important in the response of the negative impact that is given from this social media. The role of parents is a supervisory association of his children, parents who are too busy with the outside world it would be very difficult to control the child socially. This is because parents are busy earning a living and no time to pay attention to and care for their children properly. (Soekanto, Soerjono. Sosiologi Suatu Pengantar. 1990: 371)

Limitation of yourself is also important in the fight against the negative impact of the use of social media.
