Indonesia will be 100 years of independence in 2045, and at the same time get a demographic bonus that year. According to the Vice President, Ma'ruf Amin, the demographic bonus is a condition in which the population of productive age, between 15-64 years, is greater than the number of people of non-productive age or ages under 15 years and over 64 years (ANTARA 2020, accessed 30 December 2020). So that when Indonesia reaches the age of a century, Indonesia really has a golden generation that is qualified and in line with expectations, of course Indonesia needs to prepare a prospective golden generation with good and correct patterns and methods. Therefore, the development and education of prospective golden generation needs to be considered at this time. Talking about the golden generation, of course we don't forget teenagers as an important component in it. The correlation between youth and the golden generation can be imagined that today's youth will become mature adults in a century of Indonesia. Therefore, today's youth need to be properly shaped so that they can become the expected golden generation. Adolescence is a period of transition from childhood to adulthood, which includes all the developments experienced in preparation for entering adulthood. These developmental changes include physical, psychological, and psychosocial aspects. Adolescence is a period of human development. Adolescence is a period of change or transition from childhood to adulthood which includes biological changes, psychological changes, and social changes (Sofia & Adiyanti, 2013). ABSTRACT Association is very important to explore and find identity for teenagers, but the association is also vulnerable to mental threats in the form of insecurity that is troubling the future of teenagers. With this research, it is hoped that it can overcome or at least minimize the impact of youth insecurity due to association, so that the prospective youth of the nation's golden generation can avoid prolonged mental illness. Based on the background of this writing, the research problem formulation is obtained, namely: 1) How much influence does social interaction have on adolescent insecurity? This study was designed with the aim of explaining and answering the questions in the focus of the research above with the emphasis, namely: 1) Knowing the magnitude of the influence of association on the emergence of a sense of insecurity in adolescents. 2) Mention and explain the pattern of causes of insecurity in the association. With this research, researchers can find out in depth about the correlation between association and insecurity in adolescents.
