Question

why might a couple who became parents right out of high school be more likely to break up than a couple who became parents in their early 30s? check all that apply.
they experience more stress.
they have less money.
they are in poorer health.
they are more likely to be unfaithful.
they have more peer support.
they are less emotionally mature.

Explanation:

• Stress: Younger parents (right out of high school) often face more stress due to sudden responsibility of parenting without proper preparation.
• Money: High - school graduates generally have lower - paying jobs compared to those in their 30s (who have had more time to build careers), so they have less money.
• Emotional maturity: People right out of high school are less emotionally mature than those in their 30s (who have had more life experiences to develop emotional maturity). There is no general evidence to suggest that younger parents are in poorer health or more likely to be unfaithful. Also, having more peer support would not lead to a higher breakup rate.

Answer:

They experience more stress.
They have less money.
They are less emotionally mature.
