Thanks to Allah, the only God and guide, for giving me health and occasion to present my speech in front of you… and thanks to our prophet Muhammad SAW who guide us to the right path and to the greatest moment ever, the moment of the Islamic era. Not forget, thanks for the committees and the adjudicators, mr…………., mrs……………., and mr………… who give me time to stand up here and deliver some sentences about western culture and nation’s morality.

Even, several times ago, they become a topic in a newspaper because of their action of punching a bus driver. The phenomena of punkers happen not only in Solo but in every part of cities in Indonesia. As we know, punk is not originally from Indonesia. It comes from America which is usually used to call a music genre which has fast, hard-edged music, typically with short songs, stripped-down instrumentation. And punker is used to call the lovers of punk, including their performance.

According to the oxford dictionary, the word qualified is defined as something which reaches the standard of ability or knowledge needed to do a particular job,and teenager is defined as a person who is between 13 and 19 years old. So, a qualified teenager can be defined as a person who is between 13 and 19 years old and has reaches the standard of ability and knowledge. As a Muslim, to be qualified teenagers is a must, not only in general knowledge but also in religion knowledge. Rasulullah SAW told us in his hadith, do something for the world as you life forever and pray to Allah as you’ll die tomorrow. From this hadith, we are asked to do the
