Divorce Rates: Children in danger

It seems today that more children are coming from divorce families. There are numerous issues today with children who come from broken homes and I feel that society should pay close attention to the divorce rates. Now a days, divorce is so common that family and friends might not see it being a problem with young adults going through a divorce but there are many issue that have been proven that children who come from "broken homes" have many issue that children do not have that

come from families were both parents are within the house. Society should pay close attention to these concerns, they are more problematic than most actually might see. I can relate to some of the issue that are touched upon within some of these articles, because I as well came from family in which my mother was a single mom and struggled two raise my brother and I. The first blog that I commented on was about the effects of children when coming from a divorce home children tend to have many issue that society should pay close attention to.

    I absolutely agree with your topic and how this is a concern with today within our society. Children today that come from broken homes tend to have more problems than children from homes were both parents are there. I find it interesting that divorce rates have not dropped, which is

    showing that more children today are suffering from emotional effects of not having the other parent present at all times. I also found it hard to believe that society has not looked deeply into this situation, because children today are our future and it is quite scary that the number of children who are coming from divorce families is still on the rise and these children have extreme problematic issue.

The second article that I commented on talks about how to educate children on marriages. The main issue that I agree with in this article is the fact that divorce rates are still high. The article states that by educating children on marriages can be a way to save a marriage in the future. I felt this was an article that is extremely effective for society to want to teach the young adults on how it is important to have good communication and emotional feelings towards their husband/wife.

I want to first stress that I agree with this article 100%. I feel that now a days people need to learn how to save their marriage. Divorce rates are high and with that said, children are in jeopardy. Like mentioned, here in this article more children today are witnessing divorces. This is causing our young adults to have emotional problems when they grow to be young adults. Our youth is our future, it's scary to think that 50% of our children today are coming from broken homes. I also want to emphasis that I strongly agree with the fact that by educating our young adults on how to have a successful marriage can be a turning point within our society for our future in bringing down divorce rates.



Overall, the two articles that I have read and responded to are both topics that are serious topics for our youth to pay close attention to for societies future. If our youth are growing up with emotional and problematic issues and the percent of children who witness divorce rates are 50% is scary. Society needs to figure out a way to save marriages, thats the only hope we can strive for.

First I'd like to say that I think the topic of your latest blog post is an important one and I am glad you took the time to research it. I thought the articles you chose to comment on were interesting and thought-provoking. However, I feel that in your comments you simply agreed with the author and did not offer your own perspective and criticism. You do mention that you think, "Society should pay close attention to these concerns [about high divorce rates]," but I would have liked to have read you opinion on exactly what society can do to help children cope with divorce in their family. You did mention that you think children should be educated on marriage, but I wish you would have elaborated on what exactly that education would entail and where it would take place. My last suggestion is just to be sure to proofread your post before you publish it; I saw a few grammatical errors that I am sure you would have caught if you had read it over one more time. Other than that, your post was very enlightening and I enjoyed reading it and the other blogs you linked to.
