Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the disruptive behaviors exhibited by Grade 7 students at Baltazar Nicor Valenzuela National High School, exploring the reasons behind these behaviors, the experiences they faced, how they coped with them, and their perspectives on their situations. Employing a descriptive quantitative approach using pretest and posttest methods, the study involved Grade 7 students at the school. Through in-depth interviews, observations, and survey questionnaires, it was found that the participants had significant experiences and challenges, including struggling with various disruptive behaviors among their classmates. The findings also revealed that Grade 7 students managed these challenges by ignoring their classmates and utilizing the PROJECT PSIS (Proximity control, Signal interference, Ignoring, and Student arrangement) strategy, as well as maintaining dedication and self-discipline. Ultimately, the study emphasized the need for support from parents, teachers, and the entire school community to mitigate these behaviors.
