Social media technology takes various forms such as internet forums, weblogs, and YouTube. The existing laws stipulate normatively that offensive content videos can only be watched for the registered users with the age limit of 18 years old. However, many senior high school children with the age limit of under 18 years old can access pornographic videos on YouTube social media. All this time many senior high school students as a millennial generation do not care about and understand negative content on social media, particularly those related to sexual harassment and pornography. In fact, not a few senior high school students still consider sexual harassment and sex as something taboo so that they never ask teachers and parents about healthy information on sex and sexual harassment. Therefore, it is necessary to build awareness and understanding on the danger of negative content on social media among senior high school students particularly YouTube social media so as to avoid negative impact of sexual harassment and pornography. This can be carried out through literacy activities for senior high school students as a millennial generation, in addressing pornographic impact on YouTube social media.
