Please help me brainstorm some ideas abt that essay. I have to write 2 arguments+1 counter-argument and refutation

Answer 1

Here’s to help you with choosing if you agree or disagree, it can really go both ways but it’s up to you

agree: single parenting can cause emotional problems for the child and make them feel different compared to other kids. they may feel as though the other parent left them because they didn’t want them, and compare themselves to other kids who have both parents. i don’t see how it can affect them physically, perhaps in a way that they feel depressed and go into a phase of not eating.

disagree: single parenting does not negatively affect a child mentally, it depends on how the parent brings about the topic. a child can live a perfectly normal life with just 1 parent, as long as the parent is honest and truthful and discusses the situation with them. they physically can’t get affected by this situation, it is very unlikely for it to happen. they will mentally be more prepared for situations to come into their life early on
