Introduction

Barataria South Secondary is a school centralized in the

heart of Barataria San Jaun Malick and environs. The
school entails a lot of industrial factories around also
small food places parlors and is not to far from the
police station. I have been a student of this school for 5
years, during my five year stay I’ve came across a lot of
negative influences,peer pressure and trying to be
someone I am not. However it did take some effects on
me but however I got the opportunity to find out the
reason a lot of male students attending Barataria South
Secondary are affected by watching pornography
 Statement Of
Problem
Topic: How does pornography affect the academic
performance of male students attending barataria south
secondary
 Reason For Selecting
Topic
The reason I chose to do performance downgrade of due
to the viewing of pornography amongst male students at
barataria south sec was because it was one of the leading
problems in my school. All over many schools in Trinidad
and tobago viewing of pornography are negatively
affecting male students. Increased viewing of
pornography are known to be the primary sources of
performance downgrade that has occurred over the past
6 years (2013). Pornography viewing discussion have
recently predicted that almost 100% 500k(2014). In my
school most students aren’t educated about harmful
effects in viewing of pornography. For example they drop
out of school due to uncontrollable hormones and
addiction and some of them get locked up for rape due
to viewing of porn. Sometimes the students ( in my
opinion ) abuse and overdo the use of viewing of porn. I
hoped that research can make students in my school
become aware of how viewing of porn can damage their
mind and also cause a negative problem to them.

Investigation
