Are Fatherless Children's Growing Up Without A Father Figure?

Growing up without a father figure can turn a childhood totally upside down. “Psychological studies show that children growing up without fathers are more likely to be aggressive and quick to anger” (Kismet). Fathers leaving a household can make a hard impact on their child’s life. Fatherless children are at a high risk of mental issues, drug and alcohol use, lack of education, and even neglect and abuse. Not all children need a father figure to be great in life, but without the blessing of two parents they could be held at a disadvantage.
I grew up with a big temper and never knew why. I was lead to negative influences like stealing, failing classes, and leaving school at whatever time I felt best: I’ve been kicked out the house for all.
