The sample design used by the researcher is both qualitative and quantitative because the tools used are both numeric and non numeric where a sample of fifty secondary school students were drawn from the target public secondary school population in Lagos State and six teachers from the teacher population from the two sample schools. The researcher used observation schedules, questionnaires and focus group discussion in gathering data. The research findings led to the following conclusions.

She found out that domestic violence is rampant. It has led to a trickledown effect to the society. Social vices in the area have been directly or indirectly caused by domestic violence at the grassroots(their homes) most teachers who are also parents confirmed the drug abuse, suicides, muggings and illegal trades are more of a result to high rates of school dropout rates and violence in the area. The researcher also observed drug abuse and alcoholism has led to domestic violence in the area where parents become violent and create chaos at homes. The abuse has led to family breakups and disunity in the social setting. Some of the teachers are heavily charged with the duty of caring for the affected victims who are socially, psychologically, physically and morally affected. Domestic violence is real and is an issue that needs to be addressed with urgency.
