Divorced families, chemical addictions, casual sex, and violence against women are some of the contribution that girls have pressured on. Stress of the parents from yesterday was a lot more today.

Abstract & References Krystal M. Moore PSYC 210 February 13, 2012 Professor Kauffman MA; M.Ed Abstract & References When parents divorce it often makes life more challenging to the children involved.

Secondly, Karen and Richard engage into a sexual relationship, which lead them to face adult problems later on.
They too are afraid of punishment and abandonment or the possibility of being replaced. They also tend to suffer academically and also suffer in relationships at school. Anger, anxiety, uneasiness, and physical symptoms are other ways in which they react.

All of these things happen to children during a divorce, it is a very hard thing for kids to cope with. The emotions in adolescents also suffer from divorce.
Muna Al-Fuzai's article "Teen Suicide" is about this problem generally and especially in Kuwait and the Gulf countries. In fact, the author sees teen suicide as a serious problem that threatens the world and especially depressed teens in Kuwait and the Gulf countries who kill themselves as a solution to their "no solution" problems after they have struggled for a time. According to the author, problems such as love relations, parents control, and school issues are the most common reasons for teen suicide. According to her research, most suicides are by girls. The author asks the ministry of education to study and take some action to solve this serious "phenomenon," like stop expelling students from schools and putting counselors to observe and monitor depressed and violent teens to face their problem and save their lives.
