ANALYSIS OF FATHERLESS ON SELF-CONTROL OF STUDENTS AT PUBLIC JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL 5 IN TEGAL CITY

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to provide an overview of Fatherlessness which influences Self-Control in students at Public Junior High School 5 in Tegal City. The respondents in this study were three class VIII students at Public Junior High School 5 in Tegal City for the 2023/2024 academic year, and the informants in this study were three parents of each respondent. Data collection techniques use direct interviews and observation. The results of the research stated that the description of fatherlessness for each respondent varied, including due to the death of his father, family conflict and divorce, and his father working outside the city so he could not raise him properly. Fatherless children’s behavior includes not easily mingling with other people, smoking, truancy, mood swings, decreased academic interest, and temperaments. Fatherless children tend to have low self-control. Suggestions that we can convey to Public Junior High School 5 in Tegal City need to provide guidance and counseling services for students who are Fatherless. Children not having a father’s role can affect children’s behavior at school, such as smoking, truancy, and decreased academic achievement. To future researchers, the completed research can be developed with more variables to achieve better research results.
