Abstract
The major aim of this study was to examine the extent to which school pupils in Mutare urban secondary schools engage on anti-social activities using the qualitative methodology. The sample was made up of 200 pupils from 8 of the secondary schools which were purposively selected. The study used the quantitative methodology and employed the descriptive survey design. A questionnaire was used to collect the data. The study revealed that school youths in Mutare urban schools are heavily involved in anti-social activities. The study also revealed that anti-social activities have negative effects on class performance and discipline of pupils. Teachers should work closely with parents to curb the prevalence of anti-social activities by children in secondary schools. Elders both in the schools and within the wider community should behave in exemplary ways in order for the young pupils to evaluate good habits and actions.
