encourage the students to join religious groups since it promotes good social

interaction to the people around them.

2.) The president/head of the religious groups should improve their activities and

movements for introducing Jesus to the children and teenagers.

promotes good relationship making friendship ties grow stronger.

4.) Students must be active to their religious groups and not just for fun and

entertainment but for more bonding and be closer with their family, friends and

teachers.

5.) The future researchers should conduct a similar topic but focusing on other that

has the same focus on religious groups.
