He plants the interest yet withholds the knowledge of the identity of Oedipus’s parents from him (Jebb 111). If Teiresias were to tell Oedipus who his parents were instead of answering in riddles, then Jocasta could have avoided suicide. They also could have been able to resolve the issue differently rather than Oedipus stabbing his eyes upon the death of his wife.

Does that mean that those children are going to be raised getting into trouble because the parent is not around enough to take care of them; or that they are going to be raised in poverty and not have anything to look forward in life like college or having a happy family when they get older?

The divorce of my parents was one of, if not, the most difficult things I have ever dealt with. It was a huge change for me at such a young, immature age that it made a big difference in my overall demeanor. The once jubilant, ecstatic child I was before, had become very shy, sad and to himself. After much help from my parents and others, I learned to embrace the divorce as a stepping stone to becoming who I am rather than a setback. The divorce of my parents had both positive and negative impacts

Should parents be fined for bulling? In my opinion parents shouldn't be fined, because there’s other ways to handle the situation. Have them sit down and have a one on one therapy.

Nowadays it is easy to find various conflicts between parents and children; such as whom to marry, what occupation to study for, etc. These conflicts are emphasized even more so when there is a cultural difference between the parent and the child. In most cases the conflict may be found when the parent expects their children to receive the optimal education in order to find a high paying and “honorable” vocation. A family confrontation between generations based on a cultural gap may lead to differences

Single Parenting Becoming a young single parent has been my motivation thus far. Being a parent means taking care of your child everyday, knowing everyday occurrences, and learning about them from their expressions and behavior. Raising a healthy, well rounded, respectful, and intelligent child is every mother’s goal. There is so much personal reward in learning about your child and growing with them. It makes you that much stronger, when mothers do it alone. There are countless times that I would

Losing It Talking about sex with a parent or teacher is like sharing a twinky. You just don’t do it. Your friends will just give terrible advice, and there is simply no hands-on practice. Once you get down to it, you are the VHS in the stack of new DVDs. That’s how it was for me. Sex is awkward to talk about, especially if you have never done it before. When growing up, you probably had some teacher, or parent, cram down your throat that sex is the most petrifying, nerve-racking, frightening thing
