| Re: Poll: 1 in 4 teenage girls in the United States has an STD
Well, to address that issue in society, you are going to have to go against the legions of women who believe that they should have rights equal to men, and be viewed in positive light by getting out of the house and into the workforce along with the men.
Many of these women are mom's, and in the past 15 years or so, the amount of mothers working during the day has risen. As a result, kids are forced into extended daycare both before and after school, and in the summer when kids aren't in school, they see a babysitter more often than their parents.
It's a shame, my mom never worked as we grew up, and as a result we had a closer relationship, and she always watched out for us. It was nice, because some of my friends were always with a babysitter and had crazy rules.
But bringing it back to the point of the poll...I'm not saying kids raised like I was will automatically not get into major trouble, but it helps having parents in your everyday life watching over you and guiding you to become a responsible adult. |
