Outline it up

Thesis:

Although it is often said that children who are brought up in a single parent household are more likely to have behavioral issues, I argue that behavioral problems do not have any direct correlation with growing up in a single parent home. I believe it has a lot more to do with social and economical issues than what family structure guides the home.
