This research was aimed to find out the fanatical behavior of Persija supporters in the ages between 10 – 12 years old in the area of Sawangan, Depok. This was a qualitative study with qualitative descriptive research design. The sample of the study were 4 children in the ages between 10 – 12 and sub area coordinator of Sawangan. The data were collected by observation, interview, documentation and field note. The data were analyzed through data collection, data reduction, data description and verification or conclusion. The results of the research found that the children in the ages between 10 – 12 already had the senses to like something. Thus, these children still needed guidance from their parents in order to avoid any negative bahaviors. The nearest persons also had big influences to teach or tell these children about what was good to be imitated and what was not since these children were very easy to imitate something that they were seen or heard, unless these children might have anarchist behaviors
