Abstract
Early marriage, which can have a number of negative impacts, is one of the biggest social concerns facing students. This study looks at how dropping out of school to marry a young person or have a kid under the age of 18 affects education. There has been minimal research on the effects of early marriage on the academic experiences of high school students in one of the cities in Mindanao, Philippines, other than its effects on population growth, school dropout rates, and reproductive health. This research will help us understand the social effects of early marriages on students' academic achievement.By analyzing this issue, we can identify the reasons behind it and develop strategies to decrease its negative effects. This study used an exploratory research design. The Twenty (20) high school participants' comments were recorded during the interview process using purposeful sampling, which produced a qualitative data collection method. The study's conclusions highlight the societal and economic elements that influence students' decisions to leave school early in order to get married young. These elements have been connected to a number of outcomes, such as poor attendance, insufficient study time, and a change in emphasis away from academic achievement, all of which have the potential to periodically increase the dropout rate.
