The Effects of Unconventional Guardians on the Behavior of Adolescents We live in a society in which the unconventional or non-traditional family has become more or less the social norm. More and more households are divided or consist of blended families, single parents, gay and lesbian couples, etc., and it can have a major effect on the behavior of youth of today. A predominant factor in all of this is the incidence of divorce. Two people get married too early and decide to have children, then the marriage doesn’t work out for various reasons, and the children are forced to take on a new lifestyle, which can be extremely shocking and potentially traumatizing to them.

If people would start considering these factors early on, they might hesitate on marrying or having kids if they know that they won’t be able to handle it.

To pass on to the appeal of the work, The Legends of Khasak was indeed a new experience to the reading public. It was both applauded and criticized for being unconventional. The youth of the era who carried the embers of rebellion within them relished the novelty of the book.
