INTRODUCTION
Digital development at this time is increasingly reaching the stage where the speed is getting higher, the size is getting thinner, and the price is getting cheaper.
This is what encourages people, especially teenagers, to use digital tools to manage data for both personal and organizational These developments can trigger negative impacts that are no less than positive impacts.
With the existence of digital technology, a new space is created which of course does not only have a good impact, but also a bad one.
There are some people who misuse technology known as Cybercrime is the unlawful use of computer networks to harm other people by making computers objects.
Morality is a form of community agreement about what is not appropriate or what is appropriate to do, and has its own legal system.
Almost all societies have their own order, even remote communities or the smallest communities have ethics/morals with their own systems.
It's not uncommon for us to encounter several penalties for those who violate morality.
The most severe punishment for those who violate morality is ostracism, constant fear, and restrictions on normal In this era of globalization, the social environment, especially teenagers, is no longer limited to the school environment, children can be in other life environments such as having access to contact, seeing or being directly involved in other people's lives with technological media.

Because without wisdom, digital technology will erode humanity towards destruction.
A Glimpse of Morale and Adolescent Moral Degradation Degradation is defined as a decrease, weakening, erosion, or changes approaching damage6.
Meanwhile, morals are defined as education in ethics, manners, and morals about how to do good and respond to the environment properly.
So, moral degradation is a phenomenon of a decline in awareness to behave according to norms, good ethics, and morality.
Moral degradation occurs simultaneously with the fading of legal values in the human heart.
Along with the development of civilization, the world moves through significant changes every time.
The industrial revolution 4.

Moral degradation needs to be looked at intensively considering that its existence is so basic in the order of life of the nation and state.
In the past, students always followed the teacher's good orders, spoke politely, and paid respect.
Nowadays, it is not uncommon for television shows to present students mistreating their teachers, beating up teachers, or killing their peers because of unhealthy competition.
Schools do have an important role in fixing the morality of the nation's However, the orientation of education which is based on sheets of paper filled with numbers obscures the true purpose of education.
Whereas the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia states that the purpose of education is to produce human beings with noble character followed by descriptions of creative, intelligent, independent human beings and other Thus, character or morality is not well formed because it only stops at the stage of moral Ethics is only studied textually in books and then memorized with the aim of getting good grades on exams.
Individuals do not live up to the moral and apply it in action9.
In fact, the essence of moral education is in its application.
How to behave, be responsive and responsive to the environment with good ethics and morals.
The Threat of Adolescent Moral Degradation in the Digital Age The development of technology has an impact on a person's moral decline, especially for teenagers because they are vulnerable to being affected by changing times.
This can be observed in the surrounding environment, such as the number of rampant violations and crimes such as harsh speech, the fading of politeness towards elders, theft, pornography, and online fraud.

Moral degradation can be influenced by various factors, but the most prominent factor is the impact of globalization which has resulted in changes in the order of people's lives.
Currently, various phenomena show that teenagers are experiencing a moral decline, this is the result of a deviant style on social media, then they imitate it.
With the development of technology, it can indeed make it easier for someone in their life, but if they are not wise in using it, it will have a bad impact on them11.
Global Factors in Adolescent Moral Degradation There are some global factors in adolescent moral degradation, including:
Someone considers the yardstick of success only in material terms and ignores morality.
The inclusion of Western culture which is easily accessible in ICT makes decency morals The higher the competition due to open local partitions.
People's individuality is getting higher and there is a lack of concern for the environment, resulting in low moral control among adolescents.
Lack of direction from the family, because each parent has their own activities and even a broken home.
lack of emphasis on the importance of morality when in school due to limited time, resources, and funding sources.
Then, this was concluded by Kartini Kartono that the moral degradation of adolescents results from bad environmental influences, weakening of self-control and social control.
Forms of Adolescent Moral Degradation In terms of its type, there are four kinds of moral degradation, namely:

The cause of this is the tendency to behave deviantly because of the supportive social and cultural Situational, namely normal children commit delinquency because of the influence of the situation, social and pressure from the environment that seems to force.
Systematic, acts of delinquency that have been arranged systematically in an organization in the form of a 'gang'.
A collection of behaviors that have rules, roles, formal status, distinctive language, and even pride.
Cumulative, an acquaintance that is carried out continuously, various places imitate this acquaintance so that it can cause social disintegration.
Cumulative can be done by individuals or groups.
If someone has reached the level of accumulation, it is very difficult to restore his behavior according to the prevailing norms13.
Meanwhile, when viewed in terms of shape, there are various forms of degradation as A delinquency that can cause physical injury such as: robbery, murder, rape, and fighting.
A delinquency related to material such as: extortion, pickpocketing, and theft.
A delinquency that does not affect other people such as: drug use and prostitution.
An acquaintance with refusing status such as: refusing the status that he is a student is by skipping school.
A non-criminal delinquency, where a person prefers to be alone than to participate in activities that involve many people.
People like this are usually irritable, easily panicked, confused.
Then, they took it out by getting drunk, taking drugs, and even committing suicide.
Effect of Cybercrime in Adolescent Moral Degradation Cybercrimeis a crime motivated by the use of information technology.

First, pure cybercrime, namely the deliberate destruction of computer information systems.
Second, cybercrimewhose motive for the crime is not clear.
The perpetrator only broke into the information system without destroying it.
Third, cybercrime that specifically attacks a person personally, such as pornography and cyberstalking.
Third, cybercrime that attacks a person's ownership rights regarding works, such as illegal copying of book soft files, plagiarism, and the Finally, cybercrime that attacks the government.
The action was carried out by destroying the state information system with the aim of disrupting the state government system.
Today's life cannot be separated from the pursuit of the internet.
The release of data from the Central Bureau of Statistics in 2013 predicts the number of Indonesian millennials in 2015 will be 33% and will continue to increase15.
That means around 85 million Indonesian people are people whose lives cannot be separated from the internet whether for educational activities, business, or just to connect with friends.
The education sector does not seem to be directly affected, but if you dive deeper it plays an important role in building the character of students.
The government has been promoting character education lately as a response to field conditions where students are increasingly distant from eastern cultural values.
Cybercrime make internet circulation mixed without filter16.
Meanwhile internet consumers come from various groups with their respective readiness.
Parents are busy working and children are given gadgets so they don't disturb them.
Children are not wise in choosing shows so whatever they see is as long as it is interesting.
Sometimes I accidentally see shows such as pornography and free sex.
When the show is received by minors, it will be fatal.
They only understand momentary pleasures without thinking long in making decisions.
So it is very prone to fall into promiscuity, meet children who have the same fate and imitate the shows they see.

How many unethical videos to watch and can be accessed freely.
Harsh words are consumed casually, heard naturally.
Parental awareness is very important to help protect children from cybercrime.
Online games are also very likely to be misinterpreted, with the potential for children to become less interactive, difficult to adapt, hard, and have high ambitions but in an inappropriate way.
Students will interact with their friends at school.
When there is one child who is lacking in morals, he will become a virus in his environment.
Ironically, it seems to be a chain phenomenon.
One community will influence each other.
Thus, the school environment becomes unhealthy.
Education whose goal is to shape the character of students instead becomes a place for students' morals to flee due to things that have gotten out of control.
In the end, cybercrime is very influential on moral degradation.
The Influence of Social Media on Adolescent Moral Degradation Social media is electronic media that can be used easily to replace the role of letters, telegrams, and the like 17 .
Social media as a symbol of the industrial revolution participates in expanding networks between social circles.
The purpose of the crew is indeed to facilitate communication and ease human work.
However, individual acceptance varies.
Again, accepting change also requires the readiness of human resources.
Along with technological sophistication is the misuse of social media.
Research by Ohio State University researchers proves that academically the use of social media has an effect on the growth of student intelligence18.

The prostitution business is still possible to develop although recently it has been tightened.
Students who are unstable are very likely to damage their character and fall into the black world.
Transactions of prohibited items are also very lively on social media.
Students who are psychologically still in the search stage and have high curiosity can fall for drugs and alcohol under the pretext of wanting to So great is the influence of social media on moral degradation that restrictions are needed, especially for students, teenagers, especially minors.
The role of parents, teachers, and the surrounding environment is so big.
At an age that is still unstable, they need control from the outside because they still experience a lot of confusion from within.
The Role of Akidah Akhlak on Addressing Adolescent Moral Degradation The moral creed has a very important role in addressing moral degradation.
20Aqidah refers to one's belief and belief in basic values that are believed to be true and cannot be contested.
While morals refer to the actions or behavior of a person who is able to reflect good and true values in the life he experiences, namely everyday life.
In addressing moral degradation, moral principles are important because they provide a clear foundation and guide in dealing with complex moral situations.

The supporting factors and inhibiting factors of moral degradation are:
Supporting Factors of Faith and Morals in Responding to Moral Degradation:
Religious Education: Strong and continuous religious education can strengthen faith and deepen understanding of good morals.
This can help individuals to understand the importance of morals in life and how they can practice them in their daily lives.
Family: A family that has strong faith and morals can be a place for individuals to learn and practice moral values.
This can help individuals to build a strong personality and character and be able to deal wisely with moral Social Environment: A social environment that supports moral and ethical values can be an important factor in shaping one's character.
In an environment like this, individuals will feel more comfortable and will receive support from their surroundings in practicing good moral and ethical Factors Inhibiting Faith and Morals in Addressing Moral Degradation:
Media Influence: Irresponsible media can have a negative influence on moral and ethical Too much exposure to media content that is unhealthy and inconsistent with moral values can make individuals less sensitive to moral and ethical issues.
Peer Pressure: Pressure from peers who do not have strong moral and ethical values can predispose a person to engage in negative behavior.
This can make individuals tempted to take actions that are contrary to moral and ethical values.

Technology is a facility or tool that helps humans develop faster.
But if it is not addressed wisely, then humans will be overtaken by technology.
Dependence on convenience will damage the natural character of humans so that it leads to destruction.
Moral becomes an important aspect of life because it influences individual submission in social life.
Moral is not only about how to understand that must be polite and respect others.
However, the existence of values that are embedded in each individual soul of awareness to become a perfect human being is the main essence of morality.
Basically, morality has become human nature, but in its journey the environment greatly influences the development of individual Human development occurs throughout life from still in the womb until death.
How does individual morality describe how the environment grows and develops.
Digitalization has made the environment for individual growth and development very close to gadgets, online shows, online games, and the like.
Where these things present a variety of offerings with minimal filters.
So that it can easily be consumed by various groups.
For groups who are still psychologically unstable, teenagers, of course, are very dangerous.
Cybercrime is spread everywhere and can be consumed freely whether intentionally or not.
Meanwhile, the control from the closest people is also decreasing because of each other's busyness.
So that a moral decline arises along with digitalization.
Fights between individuals or groups, free sex, underage marriage, drug and alcohol consumption, violence against teachers, and other crimes that are so widespread are also the effects of digitalization.
Facing these problems, the government is trying to promote character education at school doors.
The focus of education returns to the initial goal of forming human beings with noble character, first and foremost.
Character education is carried out through religious education and national culture.
Religious education is intended to provide students with a strong spiritual foundation in facing an increasingly limitless era.
Especially in the field of aqeedah and morals, where students are strengthened in their faith and trust in Allah SWT.
so that in a state of urgency those who believe will still fear their Lord.
A strong faith that is not easily shaken is an important capital to face the harshness and glamor of the world.
For example, when teenagers are invited to MAAoALIM: Jurnal Pendidikan Islam Volume 4.

must have a sense of fear, remembering the torments of hell, and the threats that the Prophet Muhammad had warned him about.
However, not with those whose faith is not so strong.
His rationality will cover and fool the truth of the heart.
Moral education is intended for educated students as human beings who have noble character, ethics, and civility.
How many intelligent but unethical people.
Meanwhile, in the interaction that becomes the attraction is virtuous behavior.
Lately, television programs often present presentations about the abuse of teachers by students, parents by children, between peers, and many others.
If you say the current generation is stupid, that's not quite right.
How can they be said to be stupid while education is said to be far more advanced.
They are not stupid, the millennial generation is a generation of information literacy or even information overload.
The current generation's interest in technology actually hinders its growth and development, both socially and nor morals.
They are just too passive with technology so they are less sensitive to the real world and its environment.
This is what causes moral decline.
Various efforts have been made to reduce the rate of early childhood births, sexual violence and other crimes.
However, this work is not a simple matter because social interactions cannot be fully controlled by the authorities.
Synergy from every element of society is needed to fill each other's roles in this big project.
A strong foundation at an early age will help teenagers not easily lose their identity when they start to know the outside world.
The responsibility of parents as a child's companion at an early age is so fundamental in how to prepare children to enter their teenage years properly.
The nation's cultural education also participates in efforts so that the younger generation does not lose their identity eroded by digitalization.
In fact, religious education with a focus on moral principles and national cultural education is complementary to fill the social space of society.
Individual awareness of their responsibilities to God Almighty, to themselves, their families, the surrounding environment, and their country also grows from these two forms of education.
Apart from educational efforts, the government as the owner of authority may place restrictions on digital devices that are deemed detrimental.
Age restrictions, tightening broadcast rules, and minimum age MAAoALIM: Jurnal Pendidikan Islam Volume 4.

The digital era is a time when world conditions are no longer too dependent on manual Degradation is defined as a decrease, weakening, erosion, or changes approaching damage.
Meanwhile, morals are defined as education in ethics, manners, and morals about how to do good and respond to the environment properly.
Based on the above understanding, it can be seen that the moral degradation and digital era desired by the author is the moral decline that occurs in adolescents in this digital era.
After we know the same definition, we can discuss or think about what is clearly defined above in this digital era by uploading an issue about moral degradation in the digital age.
In this era there are many rampant cybercrimes and the enormous influence of social media is also one of the factors for the increasingly rapid moral degradation in this era.
The factors for this moral degradation include the lack of early moral learning and the more individualized a person will lose his caring attitude.
against others this is also a major factor in the occurrence of moral As a solution to moral degradation in this digital era, moral aqeedah is present and is felt capable of restoring morale which has plummeted due to the digital era, but only for those who study morals.

lack of respect for the This example is a small but fatal thing and gives an unpleasant impression.
That way to jointly avoid them and avoid these things, namely by advising them carefully and setting a good example for the next generation.
The most important factor for moral degradation in this digital era is the existence of cell phones and social media which are getting crazier, this often makes people negligent about work assignments and others so that a lot of time is wasted where these tools will be very capable of being used in useful things such as studying the Koran, working or things that are useful for the future, not just playing games or even other useless things.
