Italia Salgado 8th grade 6 period

Family

As I was researching for topics to write about, economy, politics, mental disorders as well as eating disorders came into my mind I wanted to write about something that is always around us. Family came into my mind. As young adults we take for granted our family, since they are most of the time close to us. Since most of us are the luckiest people in the world because of the fact that we have a mom and a dad. The question is that how not having a mom or a dad affects us, I mean Society. There are many reasons why broken families affect society. Nearly half of all the sons and daughters in the world will see their parents separated by age 16. By not having their families united the probability of not being successful of the children is increased by 82%. They are also more likely to fail school by 75%, they are half more likely to be alcoholics and have the probability of being job less by 30%. By looking at these numbers we wish our parents would never separate. Most of the children that come from broken families may have problems with their behavior and may have lower grades. This happens because of the problems that are going daily in their home. They also dont feel capable of achieving something good. Most of them dont notice this, but because they are doing this things impulse involuntary. Not every student that has behavior problems or that has bad grades means that their families are separated; there is hyperactive students and those that just don't put too much effort on school.

People who are raised in broken families are most likely to be insecure. Insecure in every way; by the way their appearance is, how they are. They might feel like nobody is going to protect them. Since in families where dad is the head of it, they know for sure he is going to stand for everyone, no matter what. These people might feel alone because of the fact that as humans we cant live happily alone. We need to feel love, accepted and some of these children dont feel like it but they deserve to. How can we prevent all this? Factors of disunited families are teen pregnancies. Adults should teach the importance of marriage and doing things in the order that God placed them, love then get marriage lastly multiply Besides, families should work and prepare years before having a baby. For him or she to be in the best place with the best things. Marriage has also been devaluated, it has lost its importance. There is this thing called free union, which is against the order that God demanded. Lastly, never take your family for granted. If you have a pretty stable family, be thankful. Theres million of children suffering and wishing they got stable parents. Thanks to them we are going to make a change in society. Lets approach that we are the chosen and lucky ones that have amazing families. Those who dont are going to be someone because God is a father and a mother for those who don't have one naturally.
