Education serves as an institutional mechanism that can accelerate the development of a nation's character. Factors influencing the decline of the Indonesian nation are the result of mental and moral decline, which occurs in both the older and younger generations, including within the government and among the wider community. These factors have resulted in the Indonesian nation experiencing setbacks in various positions in the world. To overcome this problem, the Indonesian nation needs to develop and build a life by instilling positive values ​​​​to develop good character and be able to compete with other countries in the era of globalization. Character education offers a great opportunity to implement the process of fostering and developing human beings, with education based on noble morals, namely Islamic education that integrates faith, sharia, and morals in a learning system that is based on Islamic morals and influences self-improvement. One of the advantages of Al-Islam for humanity is the creation of a comprehensive and consistent method for developing mentality, producing generations, building society and culture, and upholding the principles of glory and civilization. Child educators must continue to seek more effective methods, seeking informative educational rules in preparing children mentally and morally, scientifically, spiritually, and socially, so that children can reach perfect maturity.

Happiness is the ultimate goal of every human aspiration. To achieve it to the fullest, humans strive to utilize all their potential. However, in practice, conflicts often arise between personal interests and the interests of others. The desire to realize all dreams becomes problematic when carried out without regard for moral values, especially in a household life built through the sacred bond of marriage. Many married couples fail to create domestic happiness due to uncontrolled ambition. This ambition, when not balanced with ethics and morals, has the potential to cause domestic conflict that results in the neglect of children's education in the family. A current widespread phenomenon shows that married couples spend more time outside the home for work reasons. This opens up opportunities for promiscuity in public spaces and reduces attention to family. If this phenomenon continues, serious problems in the family will become increasingly apparent. The rights and obligations of husband and wife are neglected, affection for children is diminished, and ultimately children feel more comfortable seeking environments outside the home. This condition becomes the entry point for negative speculation from society about married couples who are considered negligent in their household obligations. This research is expected to provide a significant contribution to understanding how families should function optimally. By placing religion as a foundation and making ethics and morals the foundation of social interactions, families can return to their true nature as the birthplace of quality generations with character, ethics, and spiritual values.  

In society, there are terms like Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) which are generally considered as a form of sexual orientation deviation. Sexual orientation itself refers to a person's emotional, physical, or romantic attraction to either the same or the opposite sex. Some countries legalize homosexual life, including same-sex marriage, but in the context of sexual deviation, homosexuality is considered contrary to the norms and values maintained in society. Based on this, several issues are raised, namely how Indonesian criminal law, especially the Criminal Code (KUHP), regulates LGBT; looking at Law Number 39 of 1999 concerning Human Rights for LGBT; and what legal efforts are made by the government to address issues related to LGBT. The author uses a descriptive analytical research method, with a normative descriptive approach that examines literature and regulations using qualitative legal analysis. The research results show that the provisions regarding homosexuality in Indonesian criminal law, which include Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender, are contained in Book II of the Criminal Code, Chapter XIV concerning Sexual Crimes, Article 292, and for cases involving children, are stipulated in Article 82 paragraph (1) of Law Number 35 of 2014. Furthermore, there is no legal recognition of homosexuality, and the law only permits homosexual practices involving children under the age of majority. The constitution recognizes human rights with limitations that may not conflict with regulations, morals, religious values, or public safety. The government is making efforts by coordinating not only with the LGBT community but also with relevant agencies, preventing violations arising from policies or systems, and continuously raising awareness among the government, the public, and various parties regarding human rights principles.

Drug abuse among adolescents is a serious problem that requires a comprehensive prevention strategy. One key element in this effort is family education, which plays a frontline role in protecting adolescents from the negative influence of drugs. Through consistent education, supervision, and emotional support, families can build a foundation for positive behavior and mental resilience in adolescents. Effective family education includes open communication between parents and children, teaching moral and religious values, and creating a safe, harmonious, and warm home environment. Healthy communication allows adolescents to feel comfortable discussing problems or pressures they face, thereby minimizing the risk of falling into drug abuse. In addition to the role of the family, psychological approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) have proven effective in strengthening adolescents' resilience to social pressures and the temptation of drugs. CBT focuses on helping individuals recognize and change negative thought patterns and risky behaviors that trigger abuse. With CBT techniques, adolescents can learn stress management skills, improve decision-making skills, and develop healthier, adaptive behaviors. The integration of family education and CBT therapy results in a more holistic prevention approach. Families provide a foundation of morals, values, and emotional support, while CBT strengthens adolescents' psychological abilities to face life's challenges. This synergy can increase resilience, reduce vulnerability to negative influences, and equip adolescents with effective strategies for resisting drugs. By optimizing the role of the family and combining it with psychological interventions, it is hoped that a healthy, productive young generation will emerge, free from the threat of drugs, enabling them to contribute positively to society and the future of the nation.

Entering adolescence in general is the age where a child is in a very pleasant position because this age is closely related to puberty, where a child begins to have their own idols and hobbies, this causes a child to often be in a superior position to his age friends and others. Children at this age are more likely to imitate their idols and easily follow current developments.

The public's reaction to the rousing welcome from the former convict of sexual crimes against children with the initials SJ got a lot of attention. Sexual crimes against children which are special crimes have special treatment, both as victims and perpetrators. Because of its specificity, there is a separate treatment starting from the investigation, trial, sanctions, sentencing, also post-trial.After sentencing, the perpetrators are not automatically able to move freely in public, so that when a former convict appears in public, there is a reaction from the public.
