It is well-known that there have been numerous delinquencies conducted by Students over the years either at school or among society such as gang fighting,
smoking, using drugs, playing hooky, and so on. And weirdly the students did those bad behavior or delinquencies in a group; they fought, smoked, used
drugs, or played hooky together with their friends. Furqon, for instance, a student of SMK Alhusnah Tangerang, was dead
wretchedly after being attacked by tens students of another SMK. Mrs. Andriyanti 35, his mother, was seriously shocked as just she knew her son’s
misfortune. And she cried out as she saw her son lying on mortuary at Tangerang Regional Public Hospital RSUD Tangerang. She didn’t stop

also impacted social stress or tension i.e. disturbing society and causing material loss such as public utility damage, society’s broken cars, and
smashed public transport. Amir clarified the data of gangs fighting in Jakarta has increased from year
to year. And he stated that the gang-fight committed by students was higher than that committed by society. And according to National Movement in anti-
drugs, gang-fight, and anarchy and Dinas Pendidikan Jakarta observation, it
was inferential that there were 137 gang-fight-often-committing-schools

and it became something surprising and breath-taking because we know that
students are the future holders of the country and are educated people. Regarding with student smokers, a research showed that 64. 8 of Jakarta
male students and 8. 8 Jakarta female students are active smokers and it stated 53. 2 of them are 15 – 19 years old.

always did in group were smoking, bullying, playing hooky, using drugs, and fighting.
