1 .1 Background of the Study

The schools and other educational institutions today are facing large problems regarding the issue on the students ' lack of self discipline resulting to under-achievements of the students in the school as well as violence within the school premises . How close are these two issues related to each other ? Mostly , the age-stage of which the student enters when he attends secondary school is ranged as the puberty stage of an individual 's growth .

Through the proceedings of this particular research , it is expected that the reasons behind the ongoing issue in schools would be further regulated and controlled by institutional administrations through the use of psychological and psychosocial motivation
