IMPACT OF FAMILY CONFLICTS ON THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AND INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIP OF STUDENTS IN PUBLIC SECONDARY SCHOOLS, DISTRICT RAHIM YAR KHAN

Abstract

Introduction and Objectives: There is a rising issue in research and in the modern world about the role of family conflicts in affecting the academic performance of students. The current study is based on the fact that children at secondary levels in schools are having a negative impact on their family conflicts. Students' academic performance and interpersonal relationships were the main goal of this study. This study used a sample of 400 students at the secondary level from the district of Rahim Yar Khan and applied a quantitative method for obtaining data. The students were of both genders and were from the 9th and 10th grades. They were given the questionnaire, which they had to answer by giving responses. The results of the study proved that the family conflict did have a negative effect on the students’ performance in schools. At the same time, their interpersonal relationships were also getting affected by the conflicts they were facing in their families. The research suggests that there is a need to make strong bonding between the students and their parents. There should be a positive role of counsellors and teachers in the lives of students.
