This study was conducted with the primary goal of determining the

implication of vices to the academic performance of grade 12 Ruizians. The

finding of this study would serve as a basis on what are the effects of vices

to their academic performance.

There were seventy students involved in this study who were enrolled

in Colegio de San Lorenzo for academic year 2017-2018.

This study generally revealed the students who have vices and its

causes and effects to their academic performance. The results furnished the

senior high school students with vital information to what are the effects of

vices to their academic performance. It has been said that having vices such

as smoking, drinking alcohol, and gambling doesnt affect their studies, as

long as they know what to prioritize first. And some answered that even

though their grades arent affected by it, they still manage to stop their

habits because they know that it is not good for them.
