Adolescence is an important period in life because it is at this time that humans bridge childhood and adulthood. In addition, adolescence is an important period because this period is also a period: testing, development and expansion. Christian teenagers are now freer than teenagers from previous periods of time. Ethical values among teenagers now seem to have been degraded. Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:33 provides a clear picture for Christian youth in Indonesia not to be deceived and lost because of bad association. Which certainly will have a negative impact and the worst is to lead to destruction. The condition of adolescents who are still unstable causes them to be easily tempted and deceived. Therefore, the ethics of association are very necessary to fortify them from destruction. Where bad association begins because of wrong perceptions that lead them to poor communication and association. Therefore, Christian adolescents in Indonesia still need to need supervision and mentoring to be able to go through their transition to a true maturity both physically and spiritually. And that responsibility is certainly given to families, churches and also PAK teachers in schools.
