Parents today face various challenges in educating their adolescents. This is because adolescents are much influenced by their environment and peers, resulting in them being trapped in various social problems such as free mixing, porn addiction, smoking, truancy, loafing, gangsterism and vandalism. Hence, the purpose of this research is to identify the challenges faced by parents in educating their adolescents in the family. This research is designed as a survey study using questionnaire as research instrument on 384 respondents selected by purposive sampling of parents who have adolescents, in Putrajaya. Data was analysed by descriptive statistical technique using SPSS version 22. Research results find that research respondents face challenges in educating their adolescents due to the factors of peers, parents’ busyness with work, family financial problems, current technology and cyber media, as well as the characteristics of generation Z. The implications for this research provides knowledge to help parents on current challenges in educating their adolescents, so that they are able to deal wisely with adolescent social issues and problems. This research also contributes knowledge to relevant authorities involved such as National Board for Population Planning and Family Development (or LPPKN), Department of Social Welfare (or JKM) and Department for Islamic Development of Malaysia (or JAKIM) in order to more effectively manage parenting and adolescent development programs.
