            People have develop an idea over time, that a child should be raised by two parents. Through the years, children raised by a single parent have been marginalized, they have been treated just different. To many people, raising a child with only a single parent is almost impossible. Because people believe that a child need both parents. Do they really need to? Do a child need a mother figure or a father figure to become emotionally stable? Many people believe so, they claim that a child need both parents, to be emotional stable and have a normal life. Even so they believe that most criminal people are from a family structure of single parenting.

            People believe that children of single parenting may lack attention and therefore have emotional problems, and that is difficult for a single parent to raise a child for many reasons. But in the recent years it’s have been more common to have a single parent families, every time more families are being divorces and more children are being raised only by their dad, mom and even relatives, on the other hand crime rate are getting lower each time. So why is there more children with single parents and less crimes each year? Because is irrelative, single parenting are not the cause of crimes. To support this in a recent post, "Single Moms Can't be Scapegoated for the Crime Rate Anymore," Philip Cohen tries to correct what he sees as an injustice in the way the United States' crime rate is discussed. He writes how people believe that the wave of crimes in the 1980 to 90’s was caused by an increasing number of single families. Even so he explained in his charts that crime waves began declining in the 1990 even while the single parents starts growing.   People must understand that raising a child doesn’t depend on the family structure, it depends on the values that are taught by the family member. Children that are raised by a single parent can be as progressive as one raised by both parent.


Sure, it can be difficult but not impossible, I know from personal experience that isn’t. It may even  be beneficial, because you learn from a younger age that everything must be earned, you learn values that you must fight to get what you want and you see how your parent struggle to get you everything you need. People must learn that not all families have the luck to have a healthy family structure but they can be as progressive as one. It all depends on the parent, even in a normal family whether it’s a mother and a father, a single father or a single mother, the children needs that parent figure, they need guidance. They will become a product of the values and morals the parent teach them. They will become a mirror of the love and compassion they are showed from a young age, to then pass it on.
