They may be sad because they are leaving their friends and familiar security of their previous school.
Research has shown that stress in the form of loss, especially death of close family members or friends , can trigger depression in vulnerable individuals. Genetics research indicates that environmental stressors interact with depression vulnerability genes to increase the risk of developing depressive illness. Stressful life events may contribute to recurrent episodes of depression in some individuals, while in others depression recurrences may develop without identifiable triggers (Steger & Kashdan, 2010).

P1 Outline why children and young people may need to be looked after away from their families Interviewer: Why do you think some children need to be looked after by the state? Interviewee: I think some children need to be looked after by the state because of family breakdown. Bereavement/loss of the parent as it is the hardest thing to deal with especially when there is a child involved. This will be hard for the parent as they have lost their partner and know they have to look after the child on their own. This may cause difficulties because the child could become neglected.
Plus, a stressful family environment may cause a child to experience learning disabilities and possibly be of a high risk of a stress related illness. At the same time, various other elements within a child’s background may affect behaviour and development, these being; divorce, a new baby, diet, poverty and media to mention a few. Children of one parent families may suffer as the parent may work long hours leaving the child with very little support and possibly no role model to look up to. Divorce also can be very traumatic for a child. Children whose families have joined with another family and therefore have ‘step-family’ may experience unhappiness due to the child being picked on or feeling left out, this would lead to low self-esteem and they would quite possibly result in lack confidence in their own abilities.
As the terminology suggests, it represents an attempt to keep those with sexual abuse propensities from having easy access to potential victims; in other words, to corral them for the purposes of control and security. Containment programs exist full-bore in such States as Colorado, Pennsylvania, and California. Other States are looking at or organizing their own versions of such programs. One authority on containment models for sexual offenders is Jeremy Travis of the National Institute of Justice. He lays out the general concept thusly: The model process seeks to contain offenders in a triangle of supervision: treatment to teach sex offenders to develop internal control over deviant thoughts; supervision and surveillance to control offenders' external behaviors; and polygraph examinations to help design, and to monitor conformance to, treatment plans and supervision conditions (Travis, 1997).
T.D.A 2.1 3.3 Each child will experience different changes in their lives.

In the chapter the author discusses how divorce is related to emotional feelings and that its even worse than death because you lose someone you know is alive which is worse from my point of view. Mentioned in the chapter is how the divorce reflects negatively of course on the children and the parents as well. For the parents it’s going through the process of losing their partnership as a husband or a wife and for the kids or children it’s the loss of the intimate relationship of the day to day with their non-residential parent. Which of course resembles for both, the parents and the children, home feeling of belonging. Other than that of course there are different stages of mixed up feelings either anger, conflicts adapting to the new life, sadness and grief.
