i think it has nothing to with what your parents teach you. My mothe r is wonderful but when i was became old enough to do what i want to do that excatly what i did inspite of all i knew. I became pregnany at 16 and gave birth a 17. I am 21 now and i realize i should have waited but something you just have to learn on your own.

This is a real mess
young teens should
not be allowed to
have kids under the
age of 21 or before
marriage. Or to
solve it arrest
any preagnant teens
I am 31 yrs. old
and I didn’t have
my first child until after I was
married when I was
23.

With all that said.  There is not enough programs for kids to keep them off the streets. #1 issues is parents..parents..parents need to get involved.  I remember the time when you saw only caucasian kids talking back to their parents, I see the black kids knuckeling up and talking back to their parents now. I agree with everything Mary said. You can be a friend and a parent you just need to know when it’s time to be one or the other.

My job moved me here from Illinois.  I have a son, before moving here I checked the statistic as far as crime, schooling and asked about programs for childrens. Guess what I decided to leave my son in Illinois with his dad.  It was as wise choice. My first year here I got stuck up at gun point in my own home in the Fondern area right across the street from the 4th precent on Decelle. A young boy about 15 had a gun at my head, the police showed up 45 minutes later. I drive through the city on my lunch break at 11:30 pm and I see kids hanging out. What ever happened to truint officers.  When my son comes to visit for the summer, the director of the program always ask me where are we from because my son is so well mannered then the other kids.  My son tells me how the kids are so bad and curse the counsler out and how he does not want to go back.
