Article 1

The most interesting content in this article is the fact that there has been over a million divorce in the US for one year. Again, the topic has been unexplored in terms of long-term impacts on the children. This topic has interested me because most of my friends are victims of divorce. At the same time, they have unsolved issues in their lives. Additionally, there is notable difference between my friends who have both parent intact and those who have divorced parents. This has triggered my choice to this topic.

The most interesting content that I found in this article is damaging behavior caused by the divorce. The article articulated some behavior that are very common in the society. At the same time, the fact that divorce can lead to suicide interested me in this article. The article is interesting to me because my neighbor lost his cousin. When the investigation commenced, it was opined that my neighbor’s cousin committed suicide due to divorced parents. This has triggered my choice of this journal.
