Introduction
A broken family is typically considered to be a family where one of the parents is missing
due to divorce or perhaps the second parent was never part of the family. There are ways to
minimize the emotional impact that individual usually feel during this kind of situation.
Having a broken family may destroy the life of the teenagers they tend to be pressured for
sudden or unplanned parents decisions because not all the families are perfect. Sometimes
families broke up when either of the mother and the father have a big perhaps the mother
and father had a big argument and they decided to divorce which means they’re not happy
with their marriage .Broken family occurs when family member of the Benue’s or separates
certain reason fun its original setting .This leads to children being raised by single parents.
According to a study, the relationship between the family structures and children's
academic performance compared education outcomes from children growing up, with their
own married parents to children in a broken family. Family structures was consistently found
to be deciding factor in a wide range of child behavior’s that directly influence academic
performance, including emotional and psychological distress attention(shakira,2014).

he/she act accordingly wither in school or in the society. Despite off all studies made in
various places, here in Katipunan NHS, this concern was not yet given attention to that is

Definition of terms
Broken family is an unhealthy or severed relationships within the family units associated
with divorce but certainly can occur in an intact family where various members are in conflict
with or stranged from each other”.is a term used to describe a household, usually in reference
to parenting, in which the family unit does not properly function according to accepted
societal norms.
Distress -Emotional, social, spiritual, or physical pain or suffering that may cause a person to
feel sad, afraid, depressed, anxious, or lonely. People in distress may also feel that they are
not able to manage or cope with changes caused by normal life activities or by having a
disease, such as cancer.
Single Parent – A singe parent is a person who has a child or children but does not have a
spouse or live-in partner to assist in the upbringing or support of the child.
Behaviour- It is what a person does to make something happen. To make something change
or to keep things the same. Behaviour is a response to things are happening internally
thoughts and feelings.
Marriage- Is the process by which two people make their relationship public, official, and
permanent. It is the joining of two people in a bond that putatively lasts until death, but in
practice is often cut short by separation or divorce.
Theoretical Framework
This concept in broken family is anchored by the broken family home theory of
(Churchill,2012). “A single parent family is believed by early sociologists as well as the
government to be not as effective as a two-parent family. The theory is based on the family
structure on the society and the fact that two parents are better in molding children than one.
CHAPTER II
Review Related Literature
There are four factors that can make these statistics more likely. These include the child's
relationship with their residential parent, the extent of conflict between parents, the families'
economic standing, and the frequency of contact with the non-residential parent.’ Divorce is
not an intended event in a family's life. It is something that can affect each individual of the
family differently and at different times. Today a couple's chance of getting a divorce is very
high. Since this is an event that is not intended to happen, many factors need to be considered
when children are involved. Literature shows that ‘children from divorced families
experience difficult adjustments such as social, academic, and behavioral compared to
children of intact families (Emery,2004).
Who leaves and stays in the conjugal household and who takes care of the children are two
important decisions that estranged couples have to contend with”, so, with a healthy
relationship between the child and divorced parents, or single parent, the child will be able to
understand the role that both parents should own up to when raising their own children
(Abalos,2011).
A broken family can negatively affect all domains of your child’s development. The effects
of a broken family on a child’s development depend on numerous factors, including the age
of the child at the time of parents’ separation, and on the personality and family relationships.
Although infants and young children may experience few negative developmental effects,
older children and teenagers may experience some problems in their social, emotional and
education functioning (Anna Green, 2015)
The family has the potential of exercising as a strong influence over the life of the child in
school and long after he left school. He wants on to say that the child’s mental and emotional
developments which are factors for school education could be greatly influenced by nature of
the family into which the child is born. A child who is brought up in stable home is well fed
and provided all he needed will definitely perform well in his academics in school. The status
of the family determines the type of influences and the level of educational attainment of
children that are brought up in various homes (Eszewu ,1990).
Romeo Enriquez, the president of PPA (Philippine Psychiatric Association), said that having
a dysfunctional family is the usual problem that Filipinos face today. There are many
problems that we face, work, stress, relationships but the family is the worst thing that a
Filipino will have a problem with. Every year, more and more Filipinos seek a doctor’s help
and more mental illness are being recorded among Filipinos. Treatment for these kinds of
situation is very expensive and therefore not everyone receives proper medication
(Crisostomo, 2012).
Psychological home conditions arise mainly from illegitimacy of children, the label of
adopted child, broken homes, divorce and parental deprivation. Such abnormal conditions of
the home are likely to have a detrimental effect on school performance of the child he asserts.
Notes that the environment in which the students come from can greatly influence his
performance in school. The effects of broken homes may impact greatly on the internal
organization of the family and by extension; effect a child’s emotion, personality and
academic achievement. Bearing in mind the role of the family in a child’s education, the
failure of the family to perform its duties could hinder the child’s academic achievement.
Any nation that is desirous of advancing technologically will no doubt ensure that the future
of her future leaders (the adolescents) is well guided, protected and guaranteed
(Chador,2008).
He believes that “When it comes to educational achievement,” the study says, “children
living with their own married parents do significantly better than other children with their
own married parents do significantly better than other children.” (Grudun,Schultz,20016)
Pointed out that the family lays the psychological, moral, and spiritual foundation in the
over all development of the child. Structurally, family homes is either broken or intact .A
broken home in this context is one that is not structurally intact ,as a result of divorce,
separation, death of one parent and illegitimacy ( Agulana,2000).
Stated that the absence of father is often viewed as partially harmful to self-esteem looking at
the above critically one will be correct to say that a child that has no self-esteem will not be
able to perform well in his academic workhand as such he will not be able to perform well in
school (Wallerain and Kelly,2004).
Broken families have negative effects on both individuals within the family and society as a
whole. The individuals within a broken family are often unable to form strong relationships
that are supportive and caring. This can lead to problem such as depressions, anxiety and
substance abuse.
