Divorce and the Effects on Children

Recently I wrote an argumentative research paper about divorce and the effects on children for my English class. It has been really interesting and sad. Children are greatly affected by divorce through many ways; for example, depression and anxiety are commonly seen in children. Not only do these two aspects affect them as children, but as well as in their adult lives. Having divorced parents can be very difficult in their adult lives too because many uncomfortable situations come up in which too much stress is placed on the whole family. Often times divorced parents place stress on their children when they don’t mean to and sometimes they even do not notice it.

I think that people should think hard about their choices and take into account how it might affect others before they take action. If parents are considering divorce they should do everything they can possibly do to try and resolve the situation. Some make decisions too hastily without giving a lot of thought to their choices. Children can and will be impacted by the parents' actions so they should think twice before they act.
