The Scariest thing on Halloween-Turning in my Research Paper
For my research paper, I wrote about underage female marriages. Although I had heard about this practice before it wasn't until I started doing more research that I realized how widespread this issue is and how many girls are affected by it. I did know that girls were more likely to drop out of school if they were married as a teenager or younger but I did not realize that their children had stunted developmental issues. I want to go into social work and this lead me to want to focus more on women and children and maybe eventually work on international policy to help prevent underage marriage. The theories behind why people continue to force girls into early marriage ties in with many of the theories that I have learned in my Sociology classes. Some strategies that worked for my paper were making sure that I had my thesis complete early on so that I could separate out my ideas into different sections. I also jotted down some quick points that I wanted to hit in each of my sections.
