Cases regarding sexual behavior in adolescents from time to time are increasingly alarming. While in the community there is a shift in moral values that are getting farther away so that the problem has become commonplace. Whereas this behavior is something that must be avoided by each individual so that it requires adolescent character education in premarital sexual prevention.
