When I teach the lower grades It is so easy to tell which child does not have a father figure at home..... Kids remember everything you say and do and they indentify themselves by the impressions made on them as they grow up.... Postive role models are important for both boys and girls as they mature..... I remember as a child wanting to fly a plane because the guy that lived next door was a pilot and he also was the neatest guy..... I still remember going over to his house all the time as a child.....As the song goes........

It is so sad that there are children out there that don't have a caring parent to guide them. This is why we have these young teen "gang wanta be's"

Don't bring a child into this world unless you have full intentions and knowledge to raise them. Unfortunately, children being born now are from a generation of people that do not know what responsiblilty is, and were neglected children themselves.

Girls now need to get a "backbone" and not have a man's baby to try and hook them into a relationship. Male's are not responsible individuals and are simply out for a "good time"! We need to educate the young female.

What happened to the old days when women had pride in themselves and did not "give out"? If the male has no committment, don't give him yourself!!

Pre-marital sex has become prevailent over the years. If a male leaves you because you don't put out, then "kick him to the curb!" A guy like that is NOT WORTH IT! jmo

Back on subject... I think that it is great that people spend time with these children and volunteer their time to help the innocent children in our society that are "victims" of their parents stupidity.
