Article Readings # 40: A STUDY ON THE KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDE, AND BEHAVIOR OF ADOLESCENTS ABOUT EATING BREAKFAST

REACTION:

Breakfast is often referred to as the most important meal which should one-fourth to one-third of a person's recommended daily allowance. For teenagers this is the period of rapid growth. Accordingly, school children who skip breakfast have greater hyperactivity, irritability and anxiety; more disruptive classroom behavior, more tardiness, and a decrease ability to concentrate and solve problems.

Skipping breakfast would greatly affect the learning abilities of students. This will give negative impact not just to learners but to the teacher as well. The classroom environment will be distructed due to the abnormal attitude of the learners. This would somehow create trouble or chaotic situations due to its hyperactivity and irritability effects of skipping breakfast. Students could no longer have focus or learning concentrations on the subject matter. They may find themselves difficulty to actively participate to the performance task given by the teacher. They would perhaps loose their interests in learning.They could no longer solve problems and they could hardly grasp the learning. These are just few to mention of the domino effects of skipping breakfast. Based on the studies conducted, they have come up with various factors affecting theintake of breakfast. Students must practice themselves to be responsible enough in their day to day activity precisely on their studies. They should discipline themselves to wake-up early in the morning in preparing their breakfast. They should be practical enough in choosing their breakfast that is full of nutritional value. Being so responsible and practical are the key towards healthy mind and body.
