Description Non-conforming school behavior seems to be on the increase among adolescents of the violent conflict-endemic Niger Delta region, where majority of homes have been described as the poorest of the poor.  The study therefore sought to ascertain the level of influence of some biographical variables on the school behaviour of secondary school students in Nembe L.G.A. of Bayelsa State.  The research design was ex-post facto, guided by three hypotheses and data collected using questionnaire, administered on 240 sampled student-respondents.  Data analysis was carried out using Independent t-test and the results indicated (1) statistically significant age-based difference (2) no statistically significant gender-based difference, and (3) statistically significant difference in school behaviour based on parental socioeconomic status. Capacity building and economic empowerment of rural parents, especially the mothers, have been strongly recommended, to enable them provide adequately for their children who could then be more scholastically focused and behave responsibly.
