This video shows the effects of divorce and is basically what my paper is all about. Many divorces could be prevented if the couple having trouble went to marriage counseling and just stopped running away from their problems and heading straight to divorce. Whether or not the kids want to show it, most of the time they are deeply affected by it in a negative way. "Tough guy" Will Smith did not want to show Uncle Phil how deeply he was hurt by his dad. His dad had not been there for him growing up and he had to learn everything on his own, and Will said he was okay with that. He obviously was not when he burst out crying and Uncle Phil tried to console him.
