| Summary: | This paper studies and investigates the experiences of the pre-teens who had gone through parental separation when they were in their pre-teen years. Concurring studies in the past have shown that parental separation may increase the vulnerability of the pre-teens to problems, such as poorer academic performance (Amato, 2000). This research covers how parental separation affects the pre-teens psychologically, academically, and socially. Ten individuals whose parents separated at their pre-teens experience were included in this study. It was found that pre-teens experience a range of both negative and positive emotions and reactions at the time of the separation. Moreover, results suggest that academic performance of pre-teens indeed decline with the separation. Nevertheless, while some withdraw from friendships, most were found to develop closer relationships, with their friends. |
