2. Fanatism to
Social Media
(Twitter)

3. You might not be addicted to drugs, alcohol, or
some other chemical dependent, but internet
addiction is becoming a real issue in this new age.
Do you:
1. Update your status (at social media) about
what’s going on yor mind?
2. ‚Tweet‛ about something that is
happening to you at the moment?
or
3. Post your problem to social media and let
everyone know about what’s happening to
you?

4. Have you ever seen this kind of tweet??

6. Those tweet were expression
from people who have
problem in their lifes at the
moment. Nowadays people
like to update about
everything that is going on in
their lifes including their
problem to someone else or
even to his own self.

7. Social media, actually is facility for people
to communicate each other. But nowadays
people like update something about quote,
motivation, education, bussiness, new things
and whatever that is happening to them even
like when they fight to their friend or parent.
Tweeting is one of many ways for people to
express their feelings and they have right to
tweet whatever they want.
But did you know that when people tweet
about their problem it can give bad influence
to everyone who read it and especially to
themselves?

8. According to Irwan Hidayana, an anthropologist from
University of Indonesia, people, especially teenage
need a way to express themselves and one on many
ways is by using a social media such as twitter. People
think that this is the best way for them to get more
attention added Rose Mini (a psychologist).
But, not everyone know that actually expressing their
bad mood to social media is not a right way because
every responses that they get don’t always have good
affect ‘cause it was not something like they expected.
So, It wouldn’t solve the problem, even it can lead to
a ‚tweetwar‛ and make their mood even worse than
before.

9. Expressing bad mood to social
media can also give bad
influence to anyone who
actually read it.
Reading tweet about someone’s
problem and their depression
frequently can turn someone
else’s mood upside down or
simply just make them
annoyed. Even though it doesn’t
happen to everyone, it still
give bad influence to some
people.

10. Those were the reason why Rose Mini said
that it’s better to avoid the social media
when we have a problem and we should
try to think about something positive. We
better distract ourselves to keep our
problem out of our mind like doing our
hobbies such as writing or singing or any
positive activities instead of pouring our
heart to the social media.
