My Essential Questions

My Essential question is what the effects on fatherless kids are. The story behind this question is much like the story behind my topic. I chose this question because I know what it's like to feel like you’re alone, or to feel like it was your fault that your father left. Also I just want to know, the effects on other kids just like me. Now you can go on to the internet and see all of the statistics for fatherless children. You’ll see that over half of the children, commit suicide, become pregnant, join gangs, or even dropout of school, and that’s not even the worst of  it. There have been cases of children actually killing themselves or even others because their father left, and they felt it was their fault or somebody else’s. My which one question is, “Which age group is more affected by a fatherless life?” My how question is “How many types of things do fatherless teens do?” My what if question is “What if fatherless teens played school sports, would it help?” My should question is “Should fatherless teens try to play in school sports?” And my why question is “Why do teens hold these things in?”
