According to Broderick, & Blewitt (2015) Non-normative events are events in life that are not expected and are specific to the individual. Therefore, I would consider growing up and witnessing the abuse within my home between my mother and father as a non-normative event because not everyone is a victim of abuse. Growing up and witnessing the abusive situation between my mother and father shaped my identity because young children do not have the necessary coping skills and are completely dependent on their mother and father for both physical and emotional protection.

On one hand, prior research shows that single-mother families are characterized by erratic discipline and less supervision (Demuth, 65). Teenage mothers are more likely to become a single parent as well because teenage fathers are less likely to stick around. They also obtain less education and live in poverty. Further, the children of these teenage mothers were more likely to (1) be born prematurely and be of low birth weight (which increases the likelihood that they will develop traits like irritability and low self-control); (2) be physically abused, neglected, or abandoned; (3) be poorly supervised; (4) have trouble in school; and (5) become teenage mothers themselves (Agnew 257). All these traits lead up to delinquency but the father can contribute as well.
