.It was found that today's youth generation is characterized by several things. Very self-centered and wants to satisfy her desires without thinking. They are used to loud music, tattoos, etc. They lack leadership, initiative, motivation and commitment. Suicide which often occurs in this generation is an excuse taken when they experience difficult situations. They believe that success depends on themselves. Finding a good job is their priority. In a very difficult life, they long for family as a place to face life's difficulties. They need identification on market needs, such as wearing famous athlete shoes, drinking Coca-Cola, etc. Teens are now used to shopping. They buy what they want, not what they need. Ironically, they get this example from their parents and the influence of advertising is tremendous. They are very happy to travel and adventure, including surfing the internet. They enjoy collecting CDs, watching television, "chatting", etc ... Finally, they are addicted to media. On the other hand, they are a generation that longs to live happily and happily. So that for a child today, lifestyle is a picture for everyone who wears it and describes how much moral value that person is in the surrounding community and how that person lives. Most of today's youth abuse their lifestyle. Especially teenagers who live in metropolitan cities. For the most part, they are more following current fashion trends, such as for example dressing like foreigners and Western styles. Today's youth are always associated with the times and technology. Many around us women who wear shorts in public which are taught in Islamic teachings, namely that they must cover their genitals except for the palms of the hands and face for a woman who is Muslim. What is even sadder is that on average many television stations present advertisements with female models. The average woman's body from head to toe in almost every advertisement on television. For example, the part of the hair used for shampoo advertisements, the parts of the hands and feet used for hand and body lotion advertisements, and the clothes and clothes of today's trends, and others. Automatically, all those who watch television throughout Indonesia will follow the fashion trends that have been advertised on television. And it is not only the people in metropolitan cities who follow the current fashion trends, even in villages and rural areas, many have followed it as long as they respond negatively to it. What we know is that the fashion trends that exist abroad are morally deviant. Meanwhile, Indonesia is known for its politeness and virtue. If we respond to this negatively, it will also have a negative impact on our future successors. Other examples that are done by western people are drinking, smoking, drugs. The number of teenagers, especially men today who are familiar with drinking, smoking, and even drugs. They assume that if they do not consume these goods, then they will be considered as outdated or not slang. This is one example that is wrong or not good, because if they consume these illicit items it can damage their health, especially if they are in a developmental stage, especially for drug users, the negative impact of using drugs is that they can experience neurological disorders in the brain that are not functioning properly. , can experience mental disorders. The case of free sex, the corruption of time and preferring instant things to following the process, is one of the next examples that follow the western lifestyle. As a result, there are hundreds of teenagers who suffer from HIV / AIDS and even their fate is very tragic.
In this modern era, teenagers should be required to be more careful in all matters, both in their relationships and in the application of life. For this reason, in this modern era, parents who have teenagers have to be more aware of the relationships and lifestyle they adopt.
In this multi-existent or modern era, let us as the successor of the Indonesian nation have to advance the Indonesian nation, especially in its culture because the Indonesian state is known to be rich in culture. Avoid things that have a negative impact, avoid promiscuity, avoid drugs, and avoid things that can plunge you into a loss of survival. Then parents must provide understanding to their children that be wise in using these gadgets so as to minimize the bad risk to children. Choose friends who can make you smart and always get closer to the Almighty. And we may follow westernized style as long as that
