Adolescent and Divorce

Early adolescence is a difficult and turbulent time for early adolescents as they progress through puberty and undergo rapid physiological, neurological and emotional changes. Educators have recently turned their attention to this age group and revamped their approach to middle school aged children, which they designate as grade 6- 8, or age 11-14.
Because it is such a turbulent time for children, one would assume that the experience of their parents’ divorce would be particularly hard for this age group. This paper will attempt to discover the empirically verified impact of parental divorce on early adolescents, or Middle–School aged children (MSAC).
Christian Churches have been attempting to deal with the increasing incidence of divorce not only in society at large, but within their own ranks. There are effective and widely acclaimed divorce recovery programs such as DivorceCare® and more recently a DC4Kids®, a biblically based program to address the needs of children of divorce aged 5 -12. However, at this time there are very few resources available for a Christian ministry to early adolescents whose parents are separating and divorcing. Since educators insist that younger adolescents have different needs and learning styles than older adolescents, this paper will focus on how the Christian Community can address the needs of MSAC who are the victims of their parent’s separation, divorce and remarriage.

Conceiving the family as a divine human phenomenal institution that is highly cherish both by God and man, the banal regard with which the world has recently condemn it to, in respect of excessive human freedoms, is worrisome. The inestimable value of marriage and family as the primary and ethical home to build human senses for solidarity and mutuality existence on earth is gradually losing its potency within the ever growing civil liberties and rights. People no longer find marriage and family as an essential focus for their development and see little or no reason to cohabit with others in a spirit or sharing and oneness. Worse of it, cultural and religious faith-based institutions continue to play separatist roles in keeping people from different faiths other than theirs away from naturally ordained marriage unions. Are we sure that, the family is still a place where human values of mutuality and trusts are ethical introduced and developed for the society?
In the limelight to redress some of these worries and most probably introduce the hidden mechanisms necessary to rebuild the required liveliness and warmth in a prospective family union, Dr. NGYAH examines the probabilities and ‘Will’ building measures for interfaith marriages and family unions that remain mutually respectful to the faith-based doctrines of the involved family members. He as well highlights, the sensitive and unhealthy issues that could transpire and trigger frustrations between family members and other external forces, proposes solutions to such worries and develops the Will building psychology and practical family problems management guides with the aptness to keep the family members experiencing consistent and sustained happiness and joyous moments.

The purpose behind the creation of this paper is to discuss a significant but a very common problem in our society regarding the behaviour of married couples when they are going to untie their relationship. It is a common practice around the entire world not only in Islamic countries that whenever a separation or divorce occurs between a married couple they behave in a total different manner as compare to their behaviour before parting of ways whether the divorce took place between them with mutual understanding or because of any other reason. Although the discussion is supported by Quranic verses but it is the point to ponder for everyone because every religion is based on certain moral principles and it also has some ethical standards to act humanely in all affairs of life.

Using rich qualitative data, we describe the ecosystemically-embedded pro-tective antecedents that enabled 10 white, Afrikaans-speaking adolescents from divorced families towards resilience. The description both confirms and extends what was known about the roots of adolescent resilience, post-divorce. We use these findings to capacitate educators who are mandated to care for needy lear-ners, such as those from divorced homes. The findings provide more than mere implications for educators — given their simplicity, they make it possible for educators to make the most of these to champion resilience.

In America, roughly 39,000 suicides take place each year -30,000 of which are committed by men. Ironically, most suicide literature will usually have a woman depicted on front with little attention paid to the mental health and wellness of men. This is because women overwhelmingly attempt suicide (a cry for help) while men overwhelmingly follow-through (an act of frustration and despair). Such feelings of despair and frustration are now being felt elsewhere in our society as well.
