Aidle & Native:
I haven’t had the chance to peruse the conversation yet, but on its face, I do not see why a legitimate discussion concerning the divorce rate is inappropriate for a 13 year-old. A 13 year-old certainly has a grasp on the concept of divorce, and might even have inklings of its social implications. They may not be at a marriageable age yet, but I see no inherent reason why divorce should be off-limits for a 13yo. The truth is that it’s out there, and they are exposed whether we like it or not; we might as well have them be informed.
