Abstract


The absence of a father figure, known as fatherlessness, is a phenomenon that is increasingly common in modern society. Fatherlessness does not only mean that a child has lost their father due to death, but also due to divorce, busyness, or emotional absence. The loss of a father figure has a major impact on a child's growth and development, especially during adolescence. Girls are the most vulnerable group because their emotional relationship with their father plays an important role in shaping their personality, self-confidence, and future views of men. This study aims to identify the impact of fatherlessness on adolescents in general and analyze its influence on the emotional development of girls. The research method used a mixed qualitative and quantitative approach through a survey of 100 female adolescents aged 13–25 years in Medan City and in-depth interviews with psychologists. The analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics to measure the level of self-confidence and emotional stability. The results of the study show a correlation between fatherlessness and a decline in emotional balance, including social isolation in 40% of respondents and difficulty in building healthy relationships. Family support and psychological intervention are needed to maintain the emotional balance of adolescent girls.
