This paper sets out to provide a qualitative description of the psychosocial problems experienced by learners at three secondary schools in the Western Cape. The learners selected were both male and female and originated from "Quintile 5" schools, which are considered well resourced and self-sustainable. These schools cater mostly for learners from middle to upper socio-economic groups. The results of this study indicate that psychosocial problems, connected to negative peer and family associations, were the most significant hindrances to the effective functioning of these adolescents. Subsequent research will be aimed at refining an intervention approach to address the highlighted psychosocial problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
