Kendall and Kylie Jenner React To Bruce and Kris Jenner's Divorce And How Children Are Affected By Divorce
Bruce Jenner and Kris Jenner filed for divorce after twenty-years of marriage. Kendall and Kylie Jenner, on Sept 22, took to social networking to respond to their divorce.
According to the Web site, Fashion and Style, Kendall went to show love to her parents by posting a throwback photo of the couple on Instagram. Kylie posted an image on Instagram with the following message:
"I discovered that our disconnect was never because of the insecurities we felt, but rather the emptiness we created when we failed to make sense of ourselves emptiness we created."
Last Sept 22, Kris officially filed a divorce from Bruce Jenner, confirmed by the Los Angeles Superior Courthouse. A few hours later, last Sept 23, Bruce Jenner made an identical filing. Both, Kylie and Kendall, posted the images on Instagram, post the filings by their parents. Before the filing of divorce, the couple had stayed separately for eleven months.
A new study by researchers at the University College London has found that children of divorced parents are most likely to suffer from health issues in a later part of their life, according to The Huffington Post. The study, published in the journal Psychoneuroendocrinology, found that children whose parents split before they reach an age of sixteen have higher levels of C-reactive protein that increases the chance of heart disease as well as Type 2 diabetes.
The study involved samples of about 7,500 people at the age of forty-four. They were participants of the 1958 National Child Development Study.
The lead author of the study, Dr. Rebecca Lacey, said that after divorce, conditions like economic hardships as well as fewer education opportunities, lead to health disparity. She also said that their study suggested that it was not the divorce itself that caused health issues, but the other social disadvantages that caused them.
This study was not the first one to find a link between divorce and child health. Another study in 2011 found that children of divorced parents have a higher chance of contemplating suicide later on in their life when compared to those whose parents remained together.
