CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Family is the smallest unit in society. It is basically consist of father, mother, and
child/children. People have many ways of defining a family and what being a part of a
family means to them. As defined by Random House Western Dictionary, a family is “any
group of persons closely related by blood, as parents, children, uncles, aunts, and cousins”.
Some teenagers can define a family as their best friend, teacher, classmate and people who
will always be there for them. But some other teenagers defined it as their enemy, problem,
heartache and most hated people in their life because of being into a broken family.
A broken family is defined as a family in which the parents are separated or divorced.
Broken homes can cause children to question their self-worth, to experience unnecessary
grief, guilt and confusion. It can affect their whole life, especially in their studies and in their
emotions. Being into a broken family gives a lot of effects in a teenager. The one who should
support and be there for them are the one who hurts their feeling. This leads to children being
raised by single parents, stepparents or others not related to the biological parents.
The study is primarily focused on the impacts of broken family among the students. In
this study, the Researchers will focus on the behavior of the students in school and how it
affected their lives. The Researchers will be stating facts and other information about the

RELATED LITERATURE
This part is based on the studies made from books, articles and other reading or
(2010) broken family varies from numerous reasons why it had to be that way. But usually,
misunderstanding starts from simple domestic quarrel that grows impertinently damaging the
long-forged relationship between the family members. When a couple split up, it is the
children that are greatly affected scarring them physically, emotionally and socially.
According to Marla (2014) says broken family students failed to handle the
curriculum. This failure includes various aspects of educational failure such as rebellion,
frequent absence from classes, dropping out and many more. Studies have shown that people
shown that people with academic failure are more probable to rebel and use drugs at older
ages; therefore, academic failure and dropout might result to rebellion, drug, and alcohol
addictions.
Living in broken family is difficult because there’s a need of love, care, and
fulfillment of the duty of both parents. If the role of each parent is broken it will damage and
have a great impact to the student, on how will the student live with it. If one of the parents
will left due of miss understanding circumstances and will lead to divorce households and
responsibilities there is an effect to the relationship to other member of family. If that’s the
case, it will depend to the children and parent who take care of the child if managing a
households and responsibilities will reflect positive or negative outcomes in their situation.
