Home is the first and instantaneous unit for every child. He or she is born
into and considered as a full member of the home. Home is a recognized group of people who are joined together by marriage. Children from broken families are about five times more likely to suffer damaging mental problems than those whose parents are together. I have selected this topic because it’s a main social issue nowadays.
Since the divorce rate is increasing rapidly, it affects the whole life of the individual. The purpose of this research is to trace the effects of broken homes on the psycho, social and academic performances of a child. The researcher practiced snowball sampling to get through to their respondents. The total respondents on whom this research is done are 170 children under the age group 10 to 18 years and selected through simple probability sampling with the use of snowball sampling technique from four of the secondary schools with the help of a Questionnaire and Interview Schedule.
The study found the situation that the ratio avoid to go school and low grades of girls is higher than boys due to financial burdens as girls engage themselves in different income resources to overcome financial crises. Study also found that due to the aggressive nature, the boy often tends
towards disobedience and suffers from anxiety after a series of hopeless
thoughts towards tackling the different challenges. The study recommended
it is possible to have healthy, adjusted kids after a divorce, and it is also
possible to have a solid relationship with your children with lots of time
together after divorce. Family research should be conducted, so that
psychologists, psychiatrists, sociologists and economists can more work on divorce and its consequences and for the betterment of society.
