Free Choice- broken families

The Need for Structure in a Kids Life

In my opinion, every kid should grow up with a father figure and a mother figure. They are both very important in establishing a whole human being. I am thankful to be born into a family with a mother, father, and 3 siblings, but, I have many friends who were born into broken families and I can tell that it hurts them as I get to know them. 

A staggering forty-eight percent of kids today are born into broken families. Most of the time one of the parent takes on the kid and the other just pays child support. I do not think this is fair. It isn’f fair to the parent who takes complete care of the child and it isn’t at all fair to the child.

Teenagers that were raised by a single parent are more likely to abuse alcohol, end up with a mental problem or even commit suicide. It is really sad but those are just the facts. I hope that as a country we can do something to make this change.
