Divorce in the us

Very small children can be prone to temper tantrums, since they cannot easily state their feelings because of their young age(Wallerstien and Blakeslee 29). Usually in a divorce, the young child is insecure of themselves. This is very apparent for most children at school. They tend to wonder what their peers think of them now that they only have one parent living with them (Irvine 2). Most children in this age group will have trouble dealing with divorce because they cannot effectively state their own opinion. .
             Outcomes of children with divorced parents may seem surprising. Usually by teenage years is when most of the after effects of divorce can be shown through. Girls tend toward early sexuality( Shaklee 2). This is explained because usually in divorced families young girls rather stay with their mother. Throughout their life they may not see their father quite as often, resulting in a lack of nurturing from the male gender. By teenage years some girls tend to find the male nurturing they have been yearning for. Another outcome of young girls is having trouble forming a correct view of men. This happens because of the absence of their father in their childhood(Zinsmiester 3). This wrongful view of men can lead to troubled relationships in later life. An outcome of young boys is growing up being more feminine than other males (Shaklee 3). Boys may be more feminine if their mother is raising them without seeing much of his or her father. More outcomes dealing with academics is experienced when the child is younger than six or between six and nine years. The effect of divorce between six and nine or younger than six years old reported becoming involved with alcohol or drugs higher than did girls from non divorced families (Amato 2). In adulthood both girls and boys can have trouble talking about their true feelings because of parental disagreement. These young children may even have trouble expressing their true feelings to others.
