...Broken Families CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION In the Philippines, Family is defined as the small unit of society where students got their first learning about the world before they engage themselves in the real scenarios of life. It is believed that parents are the first advisers of their kids who will teach them everything about all aspects of life including education. Filipinos nurture the value of family and their importance to one’s life. Filipinos are well-known of having close family ties that love, respect, support and understand one another. An individual cannot achieve his or her goals without the necessary supports from the family.

...THE EFFECTS OF BROKEN FAMILIES TO THE STUDENTS INTRODUCTION “Having someone to love is family. Having somewhere to go is home. Having both is a blessing.” – Unknown The family is a socially recognized unit of people related to each other by kinship or by marital and legal ties. It is characterized by having a common residence shared financial resource, cooperation among its members and its commitment to a common goal in life. Traditionally the father being the head of the family has to work and provide for all the needs of the family. The mother, on the other hand, has the outmost responsibility to manage direct and hold the family members together. However in today’s society, this no longer holds true all the time. (RAMIREZ,2011) Teenagers are greatly affected when their parents separate. According to Prof. Martin Herbert, a prominent psychologist and director of the Child Treatment Research Unit at the University of Leicester, “Children are more disturbed by parents who live together in bitterness and intense hatred than by those who can negotiate a sensible and amicable parting with reasonable arrangements for children to keep in close touch with both mother and father. Quarreling parents spend so much time and energy in mutual recrimination, jealousies and occasional reconciliation that there is little time left for the children.” (LEE,2002) Nowadays, only a few realize this matter. Parents tend to focus more...

It is where the warmth of acceptance is present and the foundation of love is seen. When everything seems to be wrong, the family should be the one who makes it right.

...CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING INTRODUCTION In today's society, there are many different types of families. Some include intact, non-intact, and a variety of others. Along with these different varieties of families there is one common incident that can cause the family structure to change. Divorce is an unexpected event in a family's life. It is something that affects each member of a family at different times and in different ways. This can change this attachment style and can make a child have feelings of anger, bitterness and confusion, which can alter the child's ability to form meaningful relationships. This is one impact that can take on adolescents, after a parental separation. When separation occurs, it’s very typical for adolescents to be unhappy and want their parents to remain together. That unhappiness can translate into low self-esteem, behavioral problems, and a sense of loss. That’s in the short term. There are also longer term effects that can result from separation or divorce. These, though, certainly don’t apply to all adolescents from separated families. There is a tendency to perform to a lower standard in school, which can eventually mean that as adults they won’t have good jobs. It has been shown in prior studies that family structure is one of the factors that influence an adolescent's success. Parental separation is a stressful period for adolescents and involves a lot of adjustment. Parents are the most important and valued source...

...Makenna Ogg Ms. Markman English Composition 18 March 2015 The Affects Divorce Has on Children “But in the real world, you couldn’t really just split a family down the middle, mom on one side, dad the other, with the child equally divided between. It was like when you ripped a piece of paper into two: no matter how you tried, the seams never fit exactly right again. It was what you couldn't see, those tiniest of pieces, that were lost in the severing, and their absence kept everything from being complete.” - Sarah Dessen Throughout the United States divorce has increasingly risen in the past years. “In 2000, 49% of US marriages ended in divorce” (Gianoulis). Children everywhere are becoming the products of broken families; caught in between a mommy and daddy, when before, there was no choice. Before, all there was was comfort, familiarity and stability. Although divorce may seem like the best option in an unhappy situation, the affects on the children’s emotional state can be harmful. These effects are emotionally, psychological, academically, socially, and economically damaging. To begin, in a study by Laumann-Billings and Emery they found that children of divorce suffer emotionally. This allows for new generations of broken families to be made. The saying “the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree” would apply. In the article, Divorce by Brackett and Woolly, the authors say approximately 400,000 of the estimated million cases of divorce a year result in children...
