Remaja memiliki karakter yang berbeda dengan anak-anak maupun orang dewasa dan problematika yang dihadapinya. Dengan adanya perbedaan itulah perlu adanya langkah-langkah yang dilakukan agar tetap menjadi remaja yang baik. Secara umum ada sepuluk karakter yang ada pada remaja yang orang tua maupun guru harus mengetahuinya, yaitu perubahan fisik, sosialisasi, perkembangan kognitif, karakteristik pribadi dan emosional, independen, emosional dan pemberontak, moodiness ekstrim, identitas diri, hubungan sebaya, kemandirian dan batas pengujian, sikap egois. Dengan karakter yang cenderung banyak berlawanan dengan orang tua maupun guru, maka perlu adanya internalisasi atau penanaman nilai-nilai keagamaan pada remaja.
