<p>So, I've been reading that quite a few people say that divorce is a topic that MUST be avoided. The thing is, I've really been impacted by my parent's divorce and when I write about it, the stuff really flows. Despite this, is it still inadvisable to write about this?</p>
<p>I wouldn’t recommend it. There’s no doubt that divorce is a painful subject that has affected you personally. Still, a lot of kids’ experiences regarding divorce are similar. Unless your circumstances are rare in some way, your experiences coping with the pain of the divorce could be very similar to another students’. I wouldn’t say it’s completely off-limits though. Perhaps your parents’ divorce prompted you to help others facing a similar situation. Maybe you took this unfortunate experience and turned it into something productive. In that case, I would focus on how you personally learned from the experience and what came out of it in the way of helping others.</p>
<p>If it has really impacted you, I say go for it!</p>
