The study has introduced a group of recommendations; to develop and enhance the values of the good model for the children and teenagers through the studying courses, and the educational methods. This include great personalities such as the leader of our nation prophet Mohamed (peace be upon him) and his followers (God bless them all) and the scientists and writers, etc. It is important that parents and teachers train their sons and students to be self-confident and to be able to communicate actively without shyness or fear, as well as encouraging them to make their own decisions, motivating the sons to express their feeling freely so that they have the different personal skills. We recommend activating the role of mosques to motivate the youth to develop the culture of role model and following the good morals of the Islamic religion as it came in the holy Quran and the Sunna. The study recommend also that teachers read the heritage books to know how the good teachers dealt with their students in the past, and joining the courses that develop the teacher’s qualities particularly that relating to students. Holding seminars at schools where the specialist experts lecture on the role of the teenagers in their societies by acquiring some personal skills that help them to be active individuals in their societies and to achieve his own goals.
