Do you know what brain damage is? What is meant by brain damage is the name for today's young generation who experience brain damage. Brain damage is caused by social media that is increasingly advanced in this day and age. The term of brain damage can be called "Brain Rot" and this includes brain decay and brain damage. This term greatly reflects today's young generation who have good thinking and memory skills but become declining due to excessive use of technology.

     Many people do not realise it, even one of them can be from ourselves who do not realise that the use of technology really disturbs the mental condition and way of thinking of everyone who is addicted to technology until they forget the time to use it. One of them is teenagers in the current generation who become addicted to cellphones that only play social media and watch or see low-quality content.
          How should it be done to prevent brain damage that affects young people today? Here it is very clear that the importance of the role of parents in educating children, one of which is in managing children's time so that they do not use technology excessively. On the other hand, self-control is also important. As a teenager with many changes in this day and age which is often a factor in the deterioration and the way of thinking of teenagers. Therefore, teenagers must be able to have self-control over themselves, one of which is to be able to know how to use social media well and choose content that must be watched, as well as limiting time in using social media.

Brain decay or brain damage in today's young generation can be prevented by several factors that can be done, such as exercising and doing activities outside the home or inside the house without related to technology. Young people today must have a side effect mindset in using technology, one of which is social media if used excessively can affect the memory and concentration of every child's brain. This is how important the role of adults and parents is in sharing and disseminating things like this because today's young generation has been completely carried away by non-educational content on social media. With so much information like this, it is hoped that it can open the mindset of every young person who reads or sees it, and has self-control over the use of technology in this day and age.
