Thread: Children of single parents face more challenges in the society than normal ones?

Personally I feel that they have to face a lot of challenges than a normal child. I have seen the hardships of my close friend. She has always commented by her relatives or neighbors for whatever she does. There is a huge difference between the perspective of people,when a mistake/fault done by a normal child vs single parent child. Do you think so? What are the other challenges they face?

What you said was totally true, As a single parent child i faced these challenges as well. In fact If a single parent child is a girl she has to go through so many challenges. But i must say these challenges made me more strong and mature in a very young age.

Yeah it's bitter truth. But I'm happy for your attitude. You are maturely handling the situation rather blaming your fate.

Thank you, I learnt this maturity through my hardships

Hi!

I guess more than the child himself the parent himself/herself goes through a lot of troubles and especially if it is young widow she has to go through alot of obstacles in this society which is seriously the hardest part. And as a child he/she would face a lot of insults. mocks, humiliations from relatives as well as the society in the case of a female child it is even worse.

True, young widows really get bumped by society. They face a lot of challenges every day compare to a men. They make themselves stronger to handle those tantrums, difficulties and hardships.

Yes it's true that our society judge a person based on their family background! Both the parent and the children face lot of comments from the society and the parent faces a lot of challenges on growing a child as well.
If they have at least one person or a friend who stands by themself it's fine ,if it's not the case, it would be really difficult!
