Here's what other kids had to say:

Unfortunately, no they are not divorced. Of couse I do no want them to get divorced, but I totally agree with Kayleigh, 13! Most of my friends' parents are divorced and when I want to have them over it makes me feel kindof weird when they say no, sorry, I'll be at my dads that weekend. *sigh*

My mum and dad split when my sister got in a car accident. My mum filed for divorce because my dad taught her how to drive. Now lissa, my sister, had to come live with my mom instead of at college. My dad is also n jail but for more reasons than the car accident.

when my friend(I will call her Maggie)told me her parents were getting divorced I hugged her and told her to come over any time and t tel us if her and her mom needed help
--Lynn

Well, my mom and dad are in the early stages of divorcing. They fight any time one talks to the other, and they are trying to win me and my sister over. My mom has already got my sister, but I refuse to choose and am neutral. I used to think that this would never happen to me, but now I see that it can happen to anyone. Fact is, divorce can happen, and there's nothing the kids can really do about it. Just hang in there, and talk to people that you trust.

alexa, 8, dont feel bad you are not the only one, i feel angry that my parents are divorced, and now my Mom and this guy are thinking about living together, and soon i will have to choose between living with my Mom or Dad.
--Ann, 13

My parents aren't divorced, and sometimes I feel scorned just because they aren't. What's so wrong about having a functional family? :[
--Kayleigh, 13

My parents were never married. Sad...
--Natasha, 11

I really don't like that my mom and dad divorced. But I do love my new step -mom and now I have a new sister. And soon I will have a new brother. But, my mom has another guy that I don't really like. He is mean and he takes my toys away for no reason. I just wish that I could live with my dad. I don't really know if my older brother feels the same way. I know that one day it will get better.

Ok, so my parents are separated. My Dad's still interested in my Mom, but my Mom really doesn't seem into the marriage any more. Me and my sis talk to Dad every night, but my Mom is like, trying to avoid talking to him on the phone. And she knows a guy in another state and they really like each other but haven't met in person yet. They communicate with this adult game online called Second Life. This guy seems ok, but my Dad doesn't know and we're not allowed to tell him. This guy and my Mom use their Second Life avatars to slow dance and kiss, and they have pictures of their kissing and embracing avatars all over their virtual house. Should I be worried?
