Adolescent social pathology: The role of parents in preventing and overcoming free sexual behavior among adolescents in the City of Asahan Range

Abstract

The generation that will carry on the nation's battle comprises teenagers. By evaluating circumstances and other factors that influence the interaction between children and parents in carrying out their tasks, the researchers aimed to examine the actions and roles of parents in preventing and overcoming free-sex behavior in adolescents. We then go on to discuss how parenting involves both prevention and control. If this issue is not resolved, the moral degeneration of the country's next generation, who lack moral and social abilities, will be impacted. This study employs a qualitative phenomenological methodology. Interviews, observation, and documentation are examples of data collection methods. Utilize triangulation to examine the reliability of the data utilized in this investigation. Psychologically, at this time, adolescence is a change or transition of a person's period from childhood to adulthood. At this time, adolescents are usually unstable in making decisions, and the family is the essential unit for adolescents' physical and psychological growth and development. When dysfunctions such as divorce, death, family thoughts, or working parents occur in a family, it certainly affects the development of young people, especially in terms of behavior.
