Today many Malaysian teenagers are involved in various vices which

include drug abuse, vandalism and bullying. The mist common social ill
at school level is truancy. Truancy is the act of bunking classes without
any valid reason to spend time elsewhere in past time places such as
cyber cafes or shopping malls. Surveys carried out by relevant
authorities show that truancy is the result of lack of interest during
classes. These truants prefer to have a gala time outside the school
then face a strict teacher who demands discipline and diligence. We
have to blame the monotonous teaching and learning process in
Malaysian schools as students do not find the lessons interesting nor
challenging.
Apart from that, playing truant could be one way a child gets attention
of his/her parents who do not spend enough time with their children.
Teenagers need love and attention and they like to be in crowd and
conform to the current trends their peers are into. Truancy is a serious
problem that needs immediate action by the family unit, school
authorities and the government.
