Abstract

This was a library research study using analytic psychological and sociological approach. The research data were taken from the library as the primary source exploited from the materials on juveniles and their development, juveniles' character education, and life skills programs for late juveniles coupled with secondary sources in the form of other relevant literatures such as: Orang Tua sebagai Sahabat Remaja by BKKBN Pusat Jakarta. The results show that the juveniles should be armed with life skills education which tends to lead them to the character shaping that makes them healthier and more prestigious in the community. Life skills education includes a number of aspects such as: (1) physical skills, of which the essence is how to balance between nutrition, sports, and resting; (2) mental skills, of which the essence is how to think positively; (3) emotional skills, of which the essence is how to communicate with others effectively; (4) spiritual skills, the essence of which is how to thank and pray to ask for Allah's approval; (5) vocational skills, the essence of which is how to turn hobby and talent into an effort to live autonomously; and (6) adversity skills, of which the essence is how to face problems in life by changing constraints into opportunities
