When I was younger, like many other people I got told that my parents were getting a divorce. My parents were very young when they got together and got married half way into college. When they told me and my sisters about the divorce I was pretty young so I didn't exactly know what was going to happen but then I soon realized that my life was going to change in a huge way, holidays became hectic, my parents fought about everything possible, and they were each dragging me and my sisters into all of their problems. I started getting older, and as I got older I understood more but also got angry about the way they changed our lives. Being angry brought me to question: why do so many divorces accure in this day in age? Getting a divorce used to be a rare thing that happened, but in today's society almost every older individual has been married and divorced before. I question maybe people have just gotten careless about people and they just settle for "the now" because it is socially acceptable. People also marry people a lot more for the wrong reasons, they do not think about what the ring on their finger signifies. Soon enough marriage will be just as routine as going to the dentist and getting your teeth cleaned.
