report for the topic "family"

The most surprising thing in this book was that family is blamed for every bad affect of adolescents. I don’t think academic pressure is caused by family. The pressure is owing to school system. Schools evaluate children only with score, not with volunteer work or attitude toward study. Schools emphasize tests too much, and it makes children feel academic pressure and frustrated. Family rather than softens the pressure than causes pressure. Family can support children economically and mentally though there may be some exceptions.
The reason why children feel frustrated is that the way of thinking is completely different. Adults know the world well, so they try to lead children properly. But children try to be independent because independence is required by society. Children want to do something -study, friendship, and so on- in the way they think best. Here, however, adults know the correct way to do something and they are sure it’s correct. So adults force children to do in the way they told, but children never obey. This mismatch causes the pressure in family, I think.
Also, I don’t think the divorce makes children distressed. I heard that some children –although not every- say the divorce of their parents made gave them peace because they need not to see the domestic violence. I know that this is a special situation, but I think the idea that divorce is very bad for children is wrong.
