I would research how being raised by a single parent affects children. I often hear of statistics about children that are raised by single parents and how it affects their behavior and grades in school as well as how it affects them emotionally. Most of the research that I have read tends to point out the negative aspects of what could happened to children when raised by a single parent. I would like to research the positive aspects of being raised by a single parent instead of focusing just on the negative. There are a lot of success stories out there about children that were raised by a single parent, just as there are a lot stories of failure about children that were raised by two parents. I would like an opportunity to compare the single parents to the two parent families and compare the long term success of both families. I think adults who were raised by a single parent would be interested in the success stores for a change, as well as, the single parents and children being raised by single parents.
I think the positive contributions would be that children reading about the positive results will be inspired to work harder and not be discourage by their circumstances.
