Answer:
When we say “Broken family” what does it mean? Does it mean a family that consist a father, mother and a children? Or a family that is incomplete? Well, you see a broken family refers to a family who has been separated or divorced. This research will provide the readers the answers to the common questions that are being asked to the adolescence, and those questions are: “What are the emotions that teenagers feel during this traumatic part of their lives?”, “Is having a broken family harmful to the teenagers?, and “What are the impacts of a broken family on adolescents?”. If we are to be put into the lives of those unlucky children who has a broken family what might be the emotional reactions that we would all feel? Having a broken family does not only change the way we look at life but it also change the whole entire identity of ourselves. Teenagers are affected emotionally. The home with physically or emotionally abusive environment hinders a teen development and causes psychological issues for teenagers. Teenagers do not express their feelings with emotional withdrawal, depression, defiance and aggression. Adolescent may also feel embarrassed, guilty and frustrated. They feel embarrassed because they will think that their family isn’t as normal and they will think that their family is somehow an abnormal family which will force teenagers to withdraw themselves from world and create what they call, “My world”. Guilt will also be another emotion that adolescents will feel during this situation. Teenagers will feel guilty because they will think that the reason behind the separation of their parents that cause their family to be broken is them, it’s either because of their behavior or because of their existence. And from there teenagers will feel as if they need to change their behavior, hoping that their family will come back to normal. But, for some teenagers even if they feel that guilt inside of them they will choose to be the type of person that they shouldn’t be which create the type of person that we call as, “The Rebellious Kid ”.For them that is the only way to let their emotions out. Few days ago I asked a good friend of mine name, Lorraine if having a broken family is harmful and her replied to me was, “ Having a broken family is really harmful to adolescents, but it doesn’t mean that it can not give us a good lesson. I was once daughter of a perfect family, I had my dad, mom and brother besides me, until the day, my mom decided to leave my dad. I was depressed because they divorced and my brother died, but, I told myself that I need to be strong and I used that situation to over come my depression. Teenagers should always asks guidance from God and have a positive mind set so nothing can bring them down.” Lorraine was right broken family can lead into a harmful situation but it is still up to those teenagers if they will forever stay in that negative situation or use it to over come their depression. It will still be us who will decide by the end of the day. The people around us won’t decide for our future, it is us who will decide everything. What is really the impacts or effects of having a broken family? Teenagers need to have both parents in the home to have a balanced life. Both socially and mentally but, if the parents cannot get along and the teen are being raised in a constant battleground, socially and mentally this can be more damaging to them. This can lead to trust issues and other relationship problems. Parents who abuse each other will most likely have teenagers who will become involved in abusive relationships. Teenagers whose parents have divorced and the absent parent are still involved in their everyday life still benefit from both parents. Adolescents will changed the way they look and define life and the four things that would suffer the most in their lives are their emotional, educational, and social.
