This paper addresses four topics - suicide, drug abuse, youth consumer lifestyle, and game addiction(the Internet addiction) - as dehumanization problems for the adolescent period in the light of the Revised 2007 Curriculum. This thesis has two objectives. One is to apply this research outcome to revising the Revised 2007 Curriculum. Other is to search for methods to prevent students from these dehumanization problem. It analyzes the experiences of teachers and students, drawing on interview and survey information. My conclusion is as follows. First, young student must realize the situation of dehumanization problems. Teachers also direct them to put moral lessons into practice. Second, issues such as drug addiction and suicide are to be treated from various perspectives. For example, ethical prescriptions should be included. Third, we can interpret that the youth culture is characterized by alternatives to the dominant culture. So tolerable attitudes of adults towards the youth is also considered. Fourth, in case of consumption lifestyle teaching, to stop the negative effect of ascetic life and provocative cases, careful and cautious approach is recommendable. Fifth, the Solution to the dehumanization problems, is that teachers encourage students to help themselves to make a discussion about the problems they face. and find the right way of conduct.
