Sadly this post is an example of a broader issue. A 2019 Pew Research Center study of 130 countries and territories found that the United States has the highest percentage of children living in single-parent households in the world.

Nearly a quarter of children under the age of 18 in the United States are single parents and do not live with another adult (23%). This is more than three times her share of 7% of children worldwide. Interestingly, the study, which also looked at how people’s lifestyles differed by religion, found that children from Christian and non-religious families were about as likely to live this type of lifestyle. It turned out that

By comparison, 3% of children in China, 4% of children in Nigeria and 15% of children in neighboring Canada live in single parent households.

It’s hard to forgive Polly’s actions, but I can’t forget my teenage years. Pause Some of the toughest challenges. Dealing with hormonal changes and a complex world, you might think that no one understands how you feel. especially parents. As a result, teens can feel angry, lonely, and confused as they face complex questions about identity, peers, sexual behavior, drinking, and drugs.

Parents are also often frustrated and angry that their teens no longer seem to respect their authority. may feel intimidated and helpless by the choices teens make.

Teenage years are a time of conflict within the family. Let’s hope this finds a solution for them.
