counselling intervention, in-school adolescents, social vicesAbstract
The paper looked at the intervention of guidance and counselling to curb social vices among in-school adolescents in Ondo State. Incidences of social vices such as examination malpractice, indecent dressing, sexual immorality, lateness to school, and truancy were examined. Factors identified as responsible for social vices, such as peer group pressure, parental neglect, broken homes, lack of supervision and attention given to the needs of adolescents, were discussed. The paper also considered some societal conditions linked to social vices, such as poor governance, corruption, and lack of guidance in schools and homes. Solutions to social vices among in-school adolescents were highlighted. The paper concluded that if proper guidance counselling were given to in-school adolescents, social vices may be significantly reduced among adolescents in Ondo State, Nigeria.
