Fatherlessness is a condition in which a child experiences the absence of a father both physically and psychologically in the parenting process. Strong self-acceptance is crucial for adolescents to navigate their lives positively. This study aimed to determine the relationship between fatherlessness and self-acceptance levels among students at Telaga Nipa Information Technology Vocational School (SMK TI Telaga Nipa), West Seram Regency. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed with a total sampling technique involving 30 respondents. Data were collected using validated questionnaires on fatherlessness and self-acceptance (Cronbach's Alpha 0.905 and 0.893 respectively), then analyzed using the Chi-square test. Results showed that 70% of respondents experienced positive fatherlessness, while 63.4% had a moderate level of self-acceptance. Chi-square analysis revealed a statistically significant relationship (p = 0.001; p < 0.05), indicating that fatherlessness is significantly associated with self-acceptance levels. Supporting factors such as family support, peer support, and early habituation partially moderated the impact. These findings suggest the need for school-based counseling programs that are more responsive to students' family circumstances.
