Victor (1998) writes “kidnapping rumors are metaphors for parental worries about their children 's future in a society which is perceived to be unsafe for children” (p. 52). In the case of the Satanic panic, one concrete negative consequence of this fear about children was that the rumors led to parents to take their kids out of school for a day. Although it was only a day, missing school impacts a child’s education. Ironically, better-educated people were less susceptible to believing the rumors about Satanism, and thus didn’t take their kids out of
A child’s grade is based on how they preform, parents should not interfere with that. “... have no compunction about marching into kindergarten class and screaming at a teacher about a grade.” (Stratuss Paragraph 3).This shows parents getting too involved and sometimes threatening in their kids lives. People will say that things may have been graded unfairly and the parent should get involved. The fact is this is often not the case and if it is the student should talk to the teacher without a parent.
whose parents are incarcerated may start performing poorly when it comes to academics. It becomes hard for the students to concentrate fully on their studies since they are distracted by the personal and family issues as a result of incarceration of their parents. According to studies, children’s academic performance may be greatly affected by family and personal problems. Therefore, incarceration of the parents will also affect the children directly since they will be distracted from their studies and important school activities. Discussion
When parents choose to unwind a child, the entire family is affected. The siblings of an unwound child would likely go through extreme emotions (Shusterman 29-30). They could feel powerless because they cannot prevent the unwinding, and they could go into despair as one would expect from a child losing a sibling. These two combined, if felt strongly, could cause depression. Additionally, after witnessing a sibling being torn away from the home and then knowing that their parents might try to unwind a child again, the child might also experience fear, for his or her own life could be at stake in the future, which would only further tension in the family.
Willy is in need of constant reassurance that others will not leave him, whether it be family or friends. Being abandoned at a young age strikes up fear within Willy, which causes him to do actions that make others abandon him. Willy’s insecurity due to his fear of abandonment causes Willy to have an affair with another woman, but when Willy is caught he is filled with guilt and is not able to face the reality of his actions. He is also not able to face the fact that his son does not live up to his expectations and sees his son as a failure and himself as a failed father. Whether it be as big as being abandoned as a child or getting lost at the store as a child, past actions and experiences play a big role on how a person grows up to be.
This is just plain stupid as a matter of policy” (Germain). This quote is important because it relates to students not learning well because of issues at home or medical reasons. To explain, it talks about children with disabilities or who are homeless or something along those lines aren’t going to learn as well as other students. If teachers have these students in their class then they aren’t going to get paid very much from them.
The parents normally won’t take that time, which will make the kid resent their parents because for all they know they are being punished too harshly which in many of cases, is probably true. If parents don’t take that time during the grounding to talk to the kid about it and grow with them, what is the real point of the punishment? It’s not like the kid is learning anything from just being grounded. However, they are just realizing what they should do so their parents don’t find out next
Gang violence refers to mostly the illegal and non-political acts of violence perpetrated by gangs against civilians, other gangs, law enforcement officers, firefighters, or military personnel. Street gangs are corrupting streets and neighborhoods all over America and even around the world. Many communities in the united states are facing escalating violence by gang members, which is affecting the communities in many ways. The problem arises when gang violence begin to affect our youth and their physically and mentally. Gangs are mostly tempted by teens because of numerous circumstances; poverty and child neglect.
An abortion or adoption shouldn’t be consider as a way to deal with teen pregnancy because it will create emotional problems and scar some teenagers for
It has become apart of the U.S.’s history and the U.S. is trying to influence other countries to do the same. Child labor keeps students from learning and setting themselves up to a successful future, instead they do not learn and stay stuck in poverty. The conditions that the children are working in are horrendous and a danger to their health. Not only physical health, but their mental health as well can take a toll from the working conditions in which they are working. Families are abusing their children by giving them to “labor contractors” to put their child to work for little pay.
The rising deaths and DCFS cases is a testament to the disservice our nation is doing to neglected and abused youths. Once kids are placed in the foster care system, they are often moved from one placement to another which may negatively impact all aspects of their lives that are critical to success in later life such as school, social relationships, and environmental/community influences. This constant separation and loss may lead youths to feel hopeless, and resent social interactions as they feel that social relationships are extremely fragile. This affects group treatment as individuals may drop-out of treatment due to a new placement, or decline to actively participate as they feel hopeless and feels distrustful of everything around them. When children and youths cannot trust their caregivers for reassurance, they have no where to turn but the public.
This tears families apart and can ruin the lives of many immigrant families. Many Americans say that if an illegal immigrant is deported and has a family, then they should just take their family with them. This ruins the point of coming to the US. They came to the US because they needed a new life. If they take their legal kids with them it is, in essence, deporting US citizens (Welch).
Symptoms of physical abuse are more noticeable than sexual abuse. " Signs consist of bruising, fear of the actions of others close by, flinching, or unexplained or explanations that do not make sense" (childhelp.org). Both physical and sexual abuse leads into emotional effects which is another abuse that the child can do to
A key detail to note is that single-mother families have increased rates of financial and emotional stress characterized by negativity towards the future and feeling worthless (Thio & Taylor, 2012). The effects of divorce on emotion are precisely supported by this statement. Additionally, as mentioned in several sources, children of divorce have higher chances of doing worse academically and have more run-ins with the law (Thio & Taylor, 2012). This analysis defends the position on the effects of education by demonstrating how children of divorce do not perform as well in the classroom as compared to children of a two-parent family. However, the authors continue to say that several researchers do not agree that the fact of having an absentee parent contributes to these outcomes; instead, they point to economic and academic differences between children from single-mother homes and from two-parent homes (Thio & Taylor, 2012).
Citizens that are born in the U.S. are required to go to school to get an education so each and every citizen can have a great future. Why shouldn’t the kids of illegal immigrants not be able to go to school to have a good future? When the kids of illegal immigrants start U.S. schools, they feel like they’re equal to the kids that don’t have parents that are immigrants. When in school, they feel like they could actually live an American life and not be treated differently just because their guardians are immigrants. Kids of illegal immigrants should be able to go to school because most of the illegal immigrants enter the U.S. so their kids can have a better future than they (parents) do, schools can help the kids of illegal immigrants with their tuition, the United States has better schools than other places in the world.
