 Chapter I
INTRODUCTION

Our country suffers from multiple family problems such as

financial issues, mental illness, behavioral concerns and others.
One prominent complication is the separation of family members or
being in a broken family. Because of this, children will be the
most affected and brings discouragement in their studies.

This problem doesn’t exclude families in the city- Pagadian City,

and even the neighboring municipalities. This leads us the reason
to study the academic performance of the students of Southern
Mindanao Colleges and how having a broken family affects their
schooling.

This is a relevant matter to study because of its importance for

the children, students to be aware of their current situation and
realize how strong they are because they are fighting to survive
an essential battle of their lives. The study will also benefit
the parents, to make them realize that having a complete family
is the most important foundation in our society and having a
broken family can affect their child’s behavior in all instances.

The family is an essential factor for a human’s whole being,

everything about a man, his background, attitude, all of his
achievements, his honor and dignity, relies on the structure of
the family a man lives in with. A family is composed of a father
a mother and their offspring, bonded by their love for each
other. This thought alone is a powerful reason why this research
must be conducted
