If people are bullied in school, they either learn to defend themselves or continue to be bullied. Through this, people can learn to stand up for themselves and know that they should not be pushed down, which is an admirable characteristic for people to have that would not have otherwise developed, unless they were bullied. The Roman poet Horace believes that adversity brings out eliciting talents that would have otherwise never arisen. Generally, Horace is correct; adversity pushes people into tough circumstances and somehow people have to bounce back. The way people bounce back is when those characteristics develop and their ideals change along with that development. Hardships can take a plethora of people, including a whole town, and change …show more content…
When being apart of a divorced family, depending on how the parents divorced, it can be hard for the children. People learn that people that once loved each other can absolutely hate each other. They way others do not understand what it is like to live at two houses in the same week and why both parents cannot be at an awards ceremony together is hard to go through and explain. Children have to make tough decisions and realize that people are not always accountable. They acquire grit and toughness, as they never want what happened to their parents to happen to them; they never want to be treated differently for having divorced parents. Other kids do not understand how burdensome it is. Parents can take their problems out on their kids and kids have to go through troublesome situations for just being born into that particular family. Likewise, the relationships they have with other people are peculiar. People learn that they have to be careful when choosing friends and more than friends; they know that people can change their opinions easily. A person who is a friend can alter his or her feelings and not be a friend anymore, only because that is how people are. Children from a divorced family will not get too close to people for fear of losing them. They do not want their kids to go through what they had to. People are more considerate; they know what it is like for others to not see that they are going through a tough time. They realize that people are going through their own battles and do not need more added
Throughout life, everyone faces challenges, hard times, bad luck, and adversity. However, the way you respond to advice shows who you are as a person. Some take adversity better then others however, overall adversity makes people think about themselves, morphically go through the process of rebuilding and making something better then before. As seen by Horace's quote, the response to adversity unlocks abilities that some do not think they have, making people change for the better. I see this in my own experience, as me starting with an F in math made me work harder to bring it up, along with in others such as Kanye West and the making of his hit song "Through the Wire" or Ray Lewis and his response to an abusive father.

Although there is a positive effect in the parents splitting homes, the child tends to be the focus and receives more attention from the parent, soothing many of the separation issues. Another new situation is the adding of a new marriage, placing a stepparent into the new home. While stepparents try to have the best intentions for the child, they cannot replace the other parent. Kids may feel resentful about the newcomer causing a significant spike in aggressive behavior and actions.

Because of this, children of divorce are more likely to latch onto abusive behaviors throughout adolescent years, such as drug abuse.

It is the separation of two individuals that at one point cared about each other or wanted to be together for another reason. Going through a divorce is a very difficult time for both parties involved, but it mainly affects the children that the two individuals share. When divorced is mentioned and children are involved, people are quick to share their opinions on how it will negatively affect the children and how difficult their lives will be. In most situations the child will be affected in some way and it will take awhile to adjust to, but there are many positive things that can come out of a divorce. Divorce allows for children to be taken out of a life full of conflict, teach them lessons, and keep the parents connected in a way.
