families is becoming a common trend in society. Some of the main reasons are

divorce

because of imbalance between family and

work

and early marriage. The consequence of

this

trend is low self-esteem in

children

and an inability to develop to their full potential. There are two main reasons leading to

divorce

which are

parents

' workload and getting married too soon. When society is developing day by day,

parents

also

have to

work

harder to be able to compete with others at

work

. In that way, they have a place in society and make money easier. When they spend too much time at

work

, they don't have time for family. Controversy is inevitable and the final result is

divorce

. The

next

reason for

divorce

is getting married at a young age. When

parents

fall in love and get married too soon, they may drop out of school and give up the diploma. Nowadays, a diploma is indispensable when applying for a job;

therefore

, it will be difficult for them to find a job with a good salary. Financial difficulties are

also

a cause of

divorce

when the amount of money spent for the family is not small.

For example

, a recent survey found that those who married early had a significantly higher

divorce

rate than those who married late. The consequences of

divorce

are the

children

's lack of adequate love from both mother and father. That lack will have a significant impact on

children

's psychology and thinking.

Children

raised in single

parents

families will not receive enough love and affection from their

parents

, which will affect their character and behaviour in the long run.

Children

will become self-esteem and afraid to communicate with people around them.

In addition

, they do not reach their full potential. When the family has only a mother or a father, the family's finances will be limited;

therefore

, investing in

children

will become harder. The physical and mental needs of

children

are

also

more difficult to meet when they lack a parent.

For example

,

children

raised in single

parents

families often do not have the opportunity to explore the world around them. In conclusion, two common reasons for

divorce

are the imbalance between family and

work

and early marriage. Being raised by single

parents

makes

children

with low levels of self-esteem and unable to reach their full potential.
