Abstract

The increasing prevalence of broken families poses significant challenges for children, particularly in the context of education. This study focuses on the experiences of secondary students, who come from incomplete family structures. Despite extensive research on the emotional impacts of parental separation, there remains a gap in understanding how these experiences uniquely affect academic performance and social interactions among adolescents in this cultural context. This research aims to explore the reasons for family breakdowns, the specific challenges faced by these students, their coping mechanisms, and the advice they offer to peers in similar situations. Utilizing a descriptive-narrative and phenomenological approach, in-depth interviews were conducted with selected participants to capture their lived experiences.
