It occurs in all geographic locations including both urban and rural areas. Verbal abuse is an attack on a person’s social development and a basic threat to a healthy human development. In this light, the researchers decided to conduct a study to investigate the impact on the social development of teenagers who were verbally abused. It was hypothesized that verbal abuse poses no impact on social development of teenagers. This study used a descriptive research design that measured ojectively the severity of impact of verbal abuse on their social development by using a survey form divided into three systems which include self- system, interpersonal system and performance system. The researchers adapted the questionnaire checklist from Ian Mcdowell. To establish reliability of the questionnaire, pilot testing was done with a result of 0.91 interpreted as excellent consistency. The scale shown in questionnaire includes 21 symptoms of social and emotional problems, each judged on six point severity scale. The researchers selected a barangay in one municipality in Bulacan as their research locale. The research respondents were 40 teenagers, 19 males and 21 females. Their ages range between 13 to 17 years. To construe the results, verbal interpretation of severity was utilized. Contingency table was used for cross tabulation to display the relationship of the variables. The results revealed that 25% of the abusers were parents or people inside the householci Most of the verbal abuse cases rose from the age 10 and above with a percentage of 60%. It was found out that teenagers who have been abused verbally posed negative effects in their social development. Using the contingency table, it was determined that in self-system, teenagers are lacking in self-health concern very severely with a mean of 5.23. In terms of interpersonal system, it was found out that teenager’s ranked suspiciousness as the first among all the symptoms with a mean of 5.70 and interpreted as very severe. While in performance system, the teenagers placed financial insecurity in the highest rank with a mean of 5.92 interpreted as very severe. Among the three systems, verbal abuse poses the most severe impact on performance system with a mean of 5.22. It was observed that regardless of gender, verbal abuse sets the teenagers’ social development deprived. The researchers found out that 66.67% of children experienced verbal abuse during 7-9 years of age and has a very severe impact on their social development. Based on the results, the researchers strongly recommend a series of counseling and debriefing exercises for victims of verbal abuse that will help them overcome several social developmental symptoms.
