Well, in English class we are starting are research paper, and mine is about does divorce cause children to make children make bad choices.  The bad choices they "supposedly" make because of their parents divorcing are doing drugs, smoking cigarettes, and drinking alcohol.  I do not think that divorce causes these problems.  Personally, I think it is the kids own choice to do these things not the divorce that causes this.  Yes, I know there is peer pressure but they can still say no.  My parents have been divorced for a long time and I have never done drugs, smoked, or drinked alcohol and that is because I think it is stupid..  I also have friends whose parents are divorced, and they drink and smoke because they think it is fun not because there parents got a divorce.  I think people are just trying to find something to pin how their children behave on instead of the fact that their kids are making bad choices.  I would like to hear your opinion on the matter.  Just remember not to be rude.
