Abstract
It is necessary for an educator to comprehend the challenges that our youths face in today’s culture so that he/she could choose the right method. For that reason the paper describes the current state of today’s society before analyzing the lives of adolescents. The importance of educational system and free time is obvious from the analysis of adolescents’ lives. By using their free time in a proper way, adolescents make their first steps toward decision-making. A peer group has a crucial role in the search of their identities. Therefore, unity with their peers helps adolescents in overcoming the difficulties in their psychological, physical and spiritual development. For an efficient education it is necessary to have educators who are willing to follow adolescents on their way to growing-up and maturity. The author presents the Don Bosco’s methodology which is based on reason, religion and love. It comprises human and religious values that we desire our adolescents to adopt and practice. The methodology offers the means, style and the path to achievement of the mentioned values. The pedagogical effort of an educator, which is characterized by love, patience and complete commitment, wins the hearts of youths who become ready to acquire human values
