In what ways are elementary school children and teenagers affected differently by their parents' divorce?

Are they affected differently emotionally, physically, mentally, or in any other way? Why?





Is it more difficult or easier for teenagers to recover from their parents' divorce than it is for school aged children? Why?





(This is concerning school aged children between the ages of 6-12 and teenagers between the ages of 13-18.)

Who knows, but they are all affected, that's for sure, We used to call them broken homes once upon a time???? People don't realize the importance of marriage and children, today's broken families are the cause for far more in the future. That's the example we now set to our children, instead of the loving homes they so richly deserve.


You show your children that you hate your partner, then what the hell do you expect them to believe in the future, and why bother to statistisize it, its ALL wrong.In what ways are elementary school children and teenagers affected differently by their parents' divorce?
My parents got divorced when I was 14, but my father was abusive, so I changed for the better. But I know other teenagers who have been through their parents getting a divorce, and it's effected them really badly.





Some blamed themselves and thought it was all their fault, and as a result of this they would self harm or become anorexic/bulimic.





They sometimes never get over this and will blame themselves their whole lives, even when they're adults.





Through stress and worry they can become skinnier, paler and their growth can sometimes slow down...





I think that it depends on the person; some children can take it better than teenagers, and vice versa. You can't generalize people like that... it doesn't work cos it matters on the individual.
It depends upon the children.
