Abstract
In this paper, research on children and adolescents of divorced parents are considered in the contexts of longitudinal studies. Because the long-term effects of divorce are more substantial than the short-term, it is important to understand how divorce alters the lives of adolescents in dramatic ways. Incidents of increased suicide risk, depression, substance abuse, diminished social skills and increased failures in interpersonal relations are examples of multiple effects that increase over time. Understanding the impact of divorce on adolescents needs to emphasize this long-term effect, as increased stress and failures to cope are substantially increased in youth of divorced parents.

From the Paper
"The family, though the smallest and seemingly most fragile of institutions, is proving itself to be humankind's bedrock as well as its fault line, whose strength lies in the cohesion and loyalty of the parent-child unit..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at how children are affected by divorce and focuses on the effects on girls. The writer notes that in many instances female adolescents are adversely affected because of conflict in the divorce process. The writer points out that when this conflict occurs the female youth can react by becoming sexually active, abusing substances or having thoughts of suicide. These circumstances are the result of anxiety and/or depression that must be treated in order for the child to overcome her ordeal successfully. The writer maintains that the most effective manner of treatment is cognitive-behavioral therapy, which may be used in conjunction with prescription medications, to aid the adolescent in dealing with the devastation of the life situation. The writer concludes that this treatment, coupled with support systems through family, friends and education, can allow the youth to gain new insight into the situation and once again become a self-confident and fully functioning individual.

From the Paper
"In these cases, instead of the child becoming overly socially active, the child closes herself off from the world, to include peer groups, family members and teachers. The longer that the conflict exists and is elevated, the more deeply into depression the youth becomes and the greater the risk there is of suicidal thoughts.
"This information indicates that when conflict exists between parents involved in divorce female adolescents are adversely affected. The degree to which these youth respond to the conflict will depend on the extent that the child is drawn into the issue and how long the conflict occurs. What is known, however, is that anxiety and depression can create scenarios in which teen females risk disease, pregnancy and death. The severity of these risks calls for an examination of the appropriate mental disorders that are cited and the treatments that will assist this population for the future."

" SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROBLEMS OF ADOLESCENTS FROM DIVORCED FAMILIES:
RESEARCH PAPER
Review of the Literature
The purpose of this paper is to delineate, discuss and summarize the existing research on substance abuse problems of adolescents from divorced families. The presented review covers two broad categories of studies. These are: (1) studies examining whether adolescents living in divorced families are more likely to abuse substances than adolescents living in intact nuclear homes; and (2) evaluative studies of diverse kinds of treatment for adolescent substance abusers living in divorced family situations.
Influence of Parental Divorce on Adolescent Substance Abuse

Abstract
When an adolescent experiences some sort of disruption of the family structure, due to either divorce or some other means of disorder, a distorted view of the marital structure sometimes arises. This paper examines the effects of broken families on adolescents, examining issues such as the child's own future relationships, behavioral problems, substance abuse, and juvenile delinquency.
From the Paper
"Consequently, not every adolescent who lives in a dysfunctional home is taking their parents to court to try and milk them for everything they are worth. Yet, even if one looks at the extreme, a minute characteristic can be identified that can applied to many adolescents in that situation. The predominant cry heard is not one for money or power, rather it is merely an internalization of emotion caused by an adolescent feeling he or she is the victim."

Abstract
The following paper does not focus on cause and effect factors of bipolar disorder, it simply explores the prevalence of specific environmental or psychosocial variables concerning bipolar diagnosed children and adolescents. The specific variables that are focused upon and extracted from a mental health database are the occurrences of parental divorce and physical/sexual abuse in the history of the bipolar diagnosed child or adolescent. These three variables are examined by the frequency in which they have been documented in the mental health computer records of individuals that are chosen to be used in the study. The following research is not generalizable to a larger population because it simply analyzes content of a census study within a small, specific population at one particular mental health center
From the Paper
"In terms of broader implications to this research, interest could be sparked for more research in the areas of divorce, physical, and sexual abuse that may be more generalizable to the child and adolescent bipolar population in America. These finding can only be generalized to the specific population utilized in this particular study, which is a limitation of the study. Other limitations are also involved with this study. As stated earlier, the data collected in this study was from initial intake sessions with clients. Clients may be reluctant to admit abuse in an initial session, while the therapist may be reluctant to ask the client these personal questions or simply forget to ask these questions."

Abstract
The following paper examines how divorce is yet another tool for making life more palatable. The writer focuses on the way in which it is a way for many people to enter new worlds, new adventures and new avenues they may never have pursued. Divorce may not be a breaking apart but rather a bringing together of things that some people may not otherwise have been privileged to enjoy.
From the Paper
"Financially, divorce can be very beneficial for some partners. Women who may have been on a strict budget or were not aware of the family assets, suddenly through divorce come to "financial realization". They often find out that their partners had assets that they were unaware of and now in some cases, they have 50% of those same assets.
The argument for divorce will never be compelling but there are advantages that are often overlooked as stated in this paper. Even when children are involved, divorce can be a good thing. Think of all the fathers who never get that involved with their children while they are married. Once they are divorced and if they are lucky enough to have joint custody, their children are apt to see more of daddy than they ever did before.?

Abstract
This paper discusses the issue of divorce and examines the research methodologies used in order to provide accurate divorce rates. The author also discusses about related social and cultural matters.
From the Paper
"While the decision to divorce one's marital partner seems as if it were an entirely personal one. But (as Emile Durkheim has shown us so conclusively as regards suicide) personal decisions are also social and cultural ones. Divorce rates have risen and fallen (but mostly risen) since the 18th century colonial era in America. Any investigation of such changes in the rate of divorce must be fundamentally grounded in the methods of historical research as well as social science research. How best to understand the reasons that divorce rates have fluctuated since the 18th century requires a close reading of a variety of historical and cultural texts that -- taken together -- will ground the personal reasons that obtain in each specific case of divorce with the larger social and cultural context of marriage and divorce.

From the Paper
"In the United States, divorce has become a fact of life for at least 50 percent of marriages. Prior to the 1970s, there was a strong legal and popular presumption that the custody of minor children would be awarded to the mother after divorce; however, in the past two decades, while the number of divorces increased, there has been a gradual relaxation of the need to establish only maternal care for children of divorced families. This paper will provide an overview of the effects of divorce on children of all ages. It will focus first on legal and emotional aspects of divorce, will then turn to the changing family structure of the 1990s, will analyze some of the variable influences on divorce trauma, and will conclude with a discussion of the basic sets of therapy available for children, as well as contemporary legislation passed to protect ...

From the Paper
"Talk therapies and group therapies have both shown progress in treating depressive disorders. Using cognitive therapy, and the understanding that emotional health is linked to thought patterns and beliefs, psychologists can explore events and feelings that have been painful to the adolescent. They can help the patient develop new coping skills and adjust a pessimistic or negative outlook that creates a self-fulfilling prophecy. Group therapy also utilizes cognitive therapy but can make sessions less threatening. In addition, they can teach valuable social skills (Battle)."

Abstract
This paper uses three articles, ?Parental Divorce and the Well Being of Children: A Meta Analysis? (Amato & Keith, 1991), ?Children?s Adjustment to Divorce (Amato, 1993), and ?Effects of family Structure, Family SES, and Adulthood Experiences on Life Satisfaction (Louis & Zhao, 2002) to demonstrate the effect of divorce on children, from their adjustment to the divorce, to their well-being after the divorce, to the effects that divorce have on the children of divorce when they are grown.
From the Paper
"The first article, ?Parental Divorce and the Well Being of Children: A Meta Analysis(Amato and Keith, 1991). s the name of the study indicates, the Meta analysis involved 92 studies. These studies, according to the article, ?compared children living in divorced single-parent families with children living in continuously intact families on measures of well being.? In this study, the Independent variable was whether or not the child?s parents were divorced or not, and the child?s well being was the dependent variable. The study wanted to look at whether or not the well-being of children suffers as a result of divorce. Therefore, the null hypothesis of this study was, ?If children do not suffer, in terms of well being, from the divorce of their parents, then there will be no difference between the well being scores of children with married parents and the scores of children with divorced parents? (Amato & Keith, 1991)."

Abstract
This study uses content analysis to examine adolescent television drama program behavior as compared to actual adolescent behavioral statistics from the National Center for Health Statistics. Issues of sexual behavior, alcohol usage and drug usage were analyzed. This work contributes to cultivation theory; the culmination of similar messages on fictional adolescent television drama programs re-enforces impressions that are not based on reality.
From the Paper
"Media can be described in many ways and forms. It is the dissemination of news, events, and information as well as a portrayal of America. It contains movies, sitcoms, dramas, comedies, news, and world events that all shape our reality of what the world is. Television more specifically is so popular because its function is to be a mirrored image of what America is, its beliefs, and ideas. Because it performs this function, it is considered entertainment. This industry is a multi-billion dollar industry that centers around two words: money and people. It does not necessarily have to be accurate for people to believe it. People will believe what they find to be interesting whether it is true or not, based upon no actual proof. This is why the media can get away with straying from the truth, because people do not care whether what they absorb is true. Truth is a very powerful concept that most people take too lightly. Most people will not admit that what they watch on television, hear on the radio, or read in the newspaper affects them. However, it has been proven through the cultivation theory that this effect is present, it does occur, and it subsequently affects the way a country perceives itself. This is how the media ultimately controls the power of thought."
