Statement of the Problem

The purpose of this study is to identify and probe on the perceived reasons why certain students in

Agusan National High School turn to gangs. Thus, this study aims to study the following:

. !hat are the reasons of some random selected students of Agusan National High School why they "oin

gangs#

$. !hat is the difference between male and female reasons on "oining gangs#

%. !hat is the famous gang group&gang name in Agusan National High School#

Scope and 'imitation

This study was conducted on (arch $)* at Agusan National High School and only aims to

determine why students in Agusan National High School "oin gangs. +n this study, the researchers used

uestionnaire as their instrument. This study is limited in choosing $) students that are members of gangs

as their respondents.

Significance of the Study

This study intended to addressed itself to the following:

Students specifically the students of Agusan National High School, that they will not be close-

minded to the positive and negative effects that "oining of gangs may give.

Parents for them to gather information and nowledge about gangs so that they may gain strategic

discipline for their offsprings.

Teachers&School Staff that they may aware and to have strategies on handling their students inside

the classroom.

Schools may gain the possible negative activities that gangs can mae.

/uture 0esearchers. This would serve as a reference material for future researchers who would be

woring with a topic relevant to the researchers1 topic. This would also give them additional

information and outputs to further e2emplify their future studies.
