Data collections are questionnaire, interviews and/or discussions to deepen the respondents' statements. The data analysis is use descriptive analysis of variables in the model. The result shows that teachers perceived the knowledge and behavior of students vary widely. The consequences that may occur are also quite serious. Perceived benefits are mostly pointed at students. Perceived barriers and vice versa, include the point of view of teachers and facilities, although the characteristics of students that are difficult to recognize and control are perceived as the dominant factor as well. The puberty education that is carried out is also very much in line with the strengthening of character education. It is highly recommended that puberty education be applied in primary schools in Indonesia.
