A recent survey conducted revealed that more and more parents’ divorce. According to the data, the divorce rate is 4.95%（ the number of divorce per one thousand people）in the US. So imagine this, how’s the effect on teens when their parents’ divorce? Are they still feeling nothing changed or they may change only for one night? In my point of view, I think there are three effects on them: emotional impact, behavior influence and psychological effect.

The first thing we have to care about is that teens emotional impact. They are too young to stand such bad change. First, they may lacking a sense of security, and feel alone. It’s easy to think of that because parents live separate and has their own life, or perhaps one of their parents will formed a new family. Moreover, they will feel shamed in front of their classmates. When their classmates said how they spent a happy day with their family, they will be more inferiority. Everything is changed. They don’t have the patience to listen to others. It’s really a bad temper. Because of their family, they have suffered too much pressure, and finally the get irascibility.

At this time, their behavior is completely changed. They put themselves in their own world. They don’t like to talk to other. Or maybe they are scared to get along with others. They fear to tell about their family. Furthermore, they don’t like to go to school. They are sleeping in the class, they don’t finish homework. They don’t care about the scores. They become the real bad students. The most serious are they have a lot of complaints but they can’t express it, so they began to fight with others. Or another reason for fight is they want to get attention of their parents.

The last is psychological effects. This can be good and also bad. The bad is they may never get married when they grow up because they don’t trust people any more. On the other side, some teenagers are become wiser since their parents’ divorce. They study harder than before. Especially they have a weak mom at home and poor. But no matter which one they are, they still don’t have a happy childhood. It’s really a hard time in their childhood.

Three effects on teens if parents' divorce, emotional impact, behavior influence and psychological effect.So, I think as this bad phenomenon more and more, people should pay attention to how kids feel when the parents’ divorce.
