This study aims to examine the relationship between empathy and emotional independence in 9th grade students of SMP Sejahtera Koja, North Jakarta. The background of this study is the importance of empathy as an aspect of emotional intelligence in social interaction, which is increasingly fading among adolescents, as well as the role of emotional independence as an indicator of individual emotional maturity. The study used a quantitative approach with 69 respondents, through data collection using a Likert scale-based questionnaire. The results of simple linear regression analysis showed that the effect of empathy on emotional independence is very small (R value = 0.194 and coefficient of determination of 3.8%). This finding suggests that other factors, such as parenting, environment and social interaction, are more dominant in influencing emotional independence. This study is expected to contribute to the development of a holistic education program in improving students' empathy and emotional independence.

No individual chooses to be born into a specific family or under certain conditions. Differences in socioeconomic conditions will always exist in society, leading to the formation of various groups at any time and place. When a teenager is born into a family with a different socioeconomic background, it can cause pressure due to feelings of inferiority, embarrassment, and even jealousy, as socioeconomic status impacts their life and education. Every child has the right to education. The cost of education is a challenge for those in vulnerable socioeconomic conditions. The issues they face are not just economic but also social in nature. Fostering Christ-like character should be a focus in Christian education, especially for adolescents. Adolescence is a vulnerable and complex stage with issues and conflicts related to self-image, values, ethics, and morality. Teenagers need proper guidance and teaching to grow into strong individuals with a Christ-like character and resilience in their lives. Economic issues are indeed related to education. However, there remains an open path to educate adolescents according to their needs. “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” (Proverbs 22:6)

This study aims to analyze the intuitive thinking skills of junior high school students in solving geometric problems based on their learning styles: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. The research employed a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Data were collected through a learning style questionnaire to categorize students, problem-solving tests on geometric shapes, and in-depth interviews to explore students' intuitive thinking abilities. The findings indicate that students with a visual learning style exhibit stronger intuitive thinking skills compared to those with auditory and kinesthetic learning styles. Visual learners provided clear and well-structured answers aligned with intuitive thinking indicators such as Catalytic Inference, Power of Synthesis, and Common Sense. Conversely, auditory learners tended to give less detailed answers, although they could identify relevant information. Kinesthetic learners offered brief and less detailed responses, particularly in specifying measurements and units in their calculations. These findings underscore the importance of understanding students' diverse learning styles to optimize mathematics teaching strategies, particularly in enhancing problem-solving skills and intuitive thinking.
