Drug abuse among adolescents is a serious problem that requires comprehensive and sustainable prevention efforts. Adolescence is a developmental phase characterized by the search for identity, emotional instability, and high levels of influence from the social environment, including peers. In this context, family education plays a central role as the first line of defense in protecting adolescents from the negative influence of drugs. Through open communication, wise supervision, and consistent love and emotional support, parents can create a safe and supportive environment for their children's mental development. Effective family education includes strengthening moral, religious, and social values, aiming to shape adolescents' character and resilience to environmental pressures. In certain situations, family education also needs to be supported by a scientific approach, one of which is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT is a psychological approach that focuses on improving negative thought patterns and behaviors. In the context of discussing drugs, CBT can help adolescents identify the emotional and social triggers that lead them to try illicit substances and equip them with strategies to cope healthily. The integration of family education and CBT therapy creates a comprehensive approach—from the home to professional support—to strengthen adolescents' mental resilience. This collaboration not only reduces the risk of addiction but also encourages adolescents to become more self-aware, emotionally healthy, and productive individuals. Therefore, synergy between families, schools, and mental health professionals is crucial in creating a drug-free generation of young people ready to face the challenges of modern life. Therefore, the active involvement of all parties, including educational institutions and the community, is essential to creating an environment that supports early drug prevention.

Discussion on the issue of unemployment not only focuses on the social aspect but also includes the economic dimension. Unemployment not only presents challenges in the social realm but also influences the economic growth of a country, such as Indonesia. Unemployment refers to the condition when individuals in the workforce desire employment but have not yet achieved it. This research adopts a qualitative approach with data collection conducted through literature reviews, including journals, books, and online sources. Unemployment is a complex problem linked to population growth, economic conditions, government policies, and education levels. It involves aspects of time, labor intensity, and productivity. Unemployment in Indonesia poses a significant problem with economic, employment, and social factors as causes. Its impacts include income reduction, increased poverty, and crime risks. Addressing this requires collaboration between the government, private sector, and society. The government should promote economic growth, enhance education quality, and provide social assistance. Investment in labor-intensive sectors and skills training is also crucial.
