What do you think of Lea McKinney's reaction to her parents' divorce?

[Zainab Wasif]

Lea’s reaction of getting a drastic haircut as a form of rebellion, was relatable and reflective of the confusion and complex emotions children often experience in such situations.

[Goodness Kene]

Lea reacted as expected. The 12-year-old was forlorn and scared about the change. The new situation was heavy on her, and I didn't expect anything less.

[Sky Revews]

Her reaction isn't one-dimensional. She sometimes vents her anger or jealousy, but at the same time, she shows sympathy for understanding an adult situation that is full of pressure. This portrays being grown up, thus acknowledging that feelings aren't the only source of emotion.

Lea was expecting worse conditions and was expecting to hear something like things were not good from the last few days. She was not able to accept this and also felt terrible when she got to know that even her friend had this news before herself.

Divorce no matter how amicable it goes, is never a pleasant experience for children. Lea reacted like any normal child would, in my own opinion.

[Kala Krishnakumar]

I think she had a very typical reaction. Doubt, blame, self hatred, and all negative emotions displayed by her are pretty normal and similar to example I've seen in real life.

[Victor Obonyo]

think Lea’s reaction was pretty typical. She was sad and she was scared that everything in her life would change. She wondered if it was her fault. I think those are all normal reactions and concerns that most kids have when learning that their parents are getting divorced.
