Youth or young people often sung, and we hear from the general public alone because youth is a concept that has always been associated with the problem of value. Eg "young hope of the nation" "the future belongs to youth," and so forth, that it all is a moral burden for the youth.

Youth can also be viewed as a stage in the formation and the human personality. Prominent characteristic of youth is its role in the transition to the position which is responsible in a society. Young people who are growing and developing it in a survival situation is different, due to various reasons.So young people who are in the process of growing in all fields, in situations which differ from each other. And the level difference is not only small, but it can be overwhelming and often contradictory. By knowing the characteristics of youth will be able knowledge of how the role of youth and the problems being faced by youth in community life.It can be seen the figure of a Ki Hajar Dewantoro, at the age of 19 years, has been active in the propaganda section Boedioetomo. His writing is so evocative tulisanya Indonesia public awareness about the importance of living state. See also the figure of Dr. Cipto Mangun Kusumo, in the age of 26 years has established Indische Partij, having previously criticized the government's intense dutch in the media. See also WR Supratman who were aged 21 years has created a song Indonesia Raya. And there are many names that can not be mentioned here.However, it seems that now we no longer find young men like that. Young men whose consciences are often restless thirst for battle has been hard to find, including on college campuses. One of the younger generation kelemahanya is a failure in capturing the meaning of anything that has been done. The lack of ability to grasp the meaning of any event in life's journey becomes a major weakness.The younger generation is the determinant of the nation's future next trip. Moreover students, as the core of the younger generation he has the advantage in thinking and action, spirit burning, critical attitude, and intelligence. Students are the driving force for change, as well as ice-breaker strength and rigidity of society.Great hope to the young man worthy ditumpukan nicknamed student. On their shoulders, the future of this nation entrusted. In their hands, the key to the integrity of the Unitary Republic of Indonesia (NKRI) on submit. And, on their shoulders as well, the fate of this nation in the lean.It is therefore natural that, when sadness burst behavior when seeing the young people who distruktif, anarchist, and harsh acts contrary to the spirit of youth. Student fights, anarchism students, involvement in drug cases and crime concerns have forced the question will be taken where the fate of this nation? if so, to whom the future of this nation again be entrusted?.It was time the young men got up from a long hibernation, actualize themselves in the spirit for the future of the nation. Youth should not be discouraged. The absence of an enemy armed with cannon (colonial, colonial) should be an opportunity for Indonesia to catch up. Our enemy today is no longer foreign Caucasians Caucasians, but the negative nature of our own (lazy to work, creativity and achievement).Youth as the backbone of society because the role of youth is needed by the community in the advancement and mutual interests. The younger generation should be able to take an important role in determining the future of the nation. With passion and steely determination and vision and a willingness to accept changes that dynamic, then the youth can serve as a driving force in any changes.History proves that, since the 1900's young people have shown their work in struggle nasioanal. Among others: the birth of the oath youth event, the proclamation of independence in 1945, crushing G, 30.S.PKI, the birth of the new order, even the events of the fall of Suharto's regime, which should be driven by young people. Young people who always give critical feedback pongahnya power.Nevertheless, the facts show that not all youth have a positive morale. The rise of drug users and other drug abuse forced us to realize that a great deal to be done to nurture young people so that energy is channeled to the very many positive things?.Thus required intensive coaching, especially coaching youth have a sense of moral order tangggung responsible for building the nation and fight for people's welfare. Coaching and education is shown in the growing awareness of man's duty as a caliph of God on earth and as individuals who must submit to God Almighty.
