CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

“Family is the foundation of the society which strengthens the human world.” This is from the research paper of Ms. Jesalyn Pastorfide. This inspires us to choose the topic “Broken Family Relationship: Affects the study habits of High School students of Saint Francis College – Allen”. In studying, having a complete family somehow inspires a student to study hard. Our family is the first environment in which we are exposed to. We can’t choose the family we want but what it will depends on us.
A broken family can lead teenagers to Juvenile Delinquency. We are aware that there are some teenagers with broken family that are drug addicts or whatever. But there are also teenagers that are not involved in drug addictions.
Marriage begins in Matrimony in which the couples are saying vows in front of the crowd and in front of the Almighty God. But there are some couples who were happy after their wedding but eventually separate without thinking what will happen to their child/children. Some parents are teaching the teenagers to always choose the right decision but are they choosing the right ones? Some will say no, some will say yes. There is no definite answer. In this research, we will be interviewing some students with or without broken family of Saint Francis College – Allen to know if having an incomplete or broken family can greatly affect study habits of students.
