Abstract:
This study is intended to determine the lived experiences of students in a broken family
and its effects on their academic endeavors. This study utilized the descriptive design.
Calderon (2006), defined descriptive research as a purposive process of gathering,
analyzing, classifying, and tabulating data about prevailing conditions, practices,
processes, trends, and cause-effect relationships and then making an adequate and
accurate interpretation of such data with or without or sometimes minimal aid of statistical
methods. The following major findings are: broken family relationship does affect
student’s academic performance. The family situations corrupt their focus in studying and
family problems bothered them while in school. Having a broken family also makes the
students feel the deprived belongingness and different compared to other students who
have complete and happy. The responsibilities thrown in to them give so much pressure
which causes anxiety and depression. It can be concluded that broken family relationships
greatly affect students’ attitude towards academic endeavors, most of the respondents
from a broken family faced a great challenge, they experienced depression, emotional
problems, and insecurity with students who have complete and happy families. Being in a
broken family affects their academic endeavors. They are prone to anxiety, depression, and
emotional breakdown that affects their academic performance. They cannot focus and
sometimes lose interest in studying to the point that their academic performance is
affected.
