cutting classes – where in the students leave the class and don’t want to go to school and just go

somewhere else. Gadgets – where they focuses more instead of doing their home works, projects,

activities and task that the teachers give to them. Low grades – where they don’t mind it and just

do what they want to. Vices – keeping it, and did not aware of the surroundings also they kept

not to attend in the class because of it.

Recommendations

Base on the result and conclusion the researchers recommend the following:

Students who kept doing cutting classes, must stop doing that because it can also cause

low grades and when you have low grade you are going to face another problem again.

We know that gadgets can also create good and bad uses. But if you know that you are

not gaining any good things by using gadgets you must stop it until you can.

Vices can’t get any good things in you, it will only ruin your health and it will also

shorten your life.

Do all the things you can do to get a good grades, because if you have good grades you

can pursue all the dreams that you want

Before you do all those problems think first of your parents that spending their life in

their job for you to go to school everyday. Teachers should report those problems in the guidance

counselor in school, so that they can put an action on it
