Powered by AIFedericca Cucchiella's Students Vices Theory suggests that vices among youth negatively affect their academic performance. The theory explains that vices, which might arise from legitimate personal or family issues, can lead to excessive absenteeism from school. Such absences disrupt learning and thereby adversely impact students' academic performances .
Ortillo's findings suggest that educational institutions serve as environments where social vices are prevalent, given their extensive exposure to diverse peer influences. These settings, including primary to tertiary institutions, often lack the mechanisms to effectively address and prevent these behaviors, thereby inadvertently propagating vices among students .
The study recommends several preventive measures, emphasizing the importance of increased parental awareness and proactive engagement in their children's lives. Parents are encouraged to cultivate open communication, provide emotional support, and monitor peer influences to better guide their children away from engaging in vices. Additionally, creating supportive environments both at home and in educational institutions is crucial to mitigating these behaviors .
Societal perception of vices as immoral or sinful behaviors significantly influences parents' approaches to handling their children's misbehavior. Parents are often driven by the desire to uphold social norms and avoid societal judgment, leading them to implement stricter measures to curb these behaviors. However, this can sometimes result in increased misunderstandings or tensions between parents and children, as the youth may perceive these measures as overbearing or controlling .
Academic research provides parents with structured insights and guidance on managing children's vices, highlighting effective strategies and raising awareness about the causes and effects of vices. By understanding factors such as peer pressure, family dynamics, and socio-environmental influences, parents can adopt informed approaches to prevent and address these behaviors, helping to reduce the incidence of children engaging in vices .
Parents face several challenges addressing their children’s vices, such as questioning their effectiveness as guardians and dealing with feelings of guilt and blame for their children's actions. The lack of specific strategies or knowledge about effectively combating these negative behaviors also adds to their difficulties in managing and preventing their children from engaging in vices .
Peer pressure contributes to the prevalence of vices among teenagers by creating an environment where they feel compelled to conform to group norms. This often leads teenagers to engage in activities such as drinking, smoking, or drug use, despite personal reservations. The expectation of fitting societal or peer norms can result in teenagers turning to cheap bars and living away from home, where vices are more accessible .
The study proposes to fill the research gap regarding teenagers' engagement in vices in the Philippines by focusing on the perceptions of parents in Silang, Cavite. It aims to provide a localized understanding of the prevalence and causes of vices among Filipino youth, as most existing studies focus on international contexts. Such insights could inform strategies to mitigate youth engagement in vices based on cultural and regional specifics .
Parental misunderstanding can significantly impact a child's engagement with vices. When parents' efforts to groom their children are misinterpreted, it can lead to misbehaviors and rebellion. This misunderstanding often results in children disregarding parental guidance, which increases their susceptibility to engage in negative behaviors or vices due to perceived lack of support or understanding from their parents .
The study on parents' perception in Silang, Cavite identifies several factors influencing children to engage in vices, such as lack of parental care, broken families, and curiosity. Additionally, peer pressure plays a significant role, often resulting in anxiety, lack of self-confidence, and the feeling of being controlled, which diminishes personal freedom .
