Does bullying cause problems in the lives of teenagers?
Here is another one, if you'd like.
Is this a good research question? I have to come up with one and this is what I have.
1. Does divorce cause drug abuse in teenagers?
My hypothesis would be Divorce does cause drug abuse in teenagers.
2. Or is this one better. Does divorce factor in the drug abuse of a teenager?
Hypothesis: Divorce does factor in the drug abuse of a teenager.
