I researched my topic on the internet and read through different articles about the relationship between parental responsibility and delinquents in juvenile in google. I made small refinements by removing certain words and changing the key words around in order to find appropriate materials for the topic. They are not many things that changed, but some of the things were not writing the entire question on google in order to find the information, but instead breaking down questions and highlighting keywords. I would change key words to synonyms that mean the same thing that way I can broaden my search. I have learned that I can find the information easily if I break down the question and just choose the keywords. As well as reading a wide range of materials to get different opinions and aspects of the issue.

My rebut argument is that parents are responsible for the crimes of their children because they are the ones that they spend most of their time with. Parents should not blame the schools or teachers for their actions when they spend only 11% of their life in school. This ideas and counter argument relates to my essay because the family structure idea supports my argument and parents not responsible for the child’s crimes is my counter argument.
