Yeah because a one minute conversation will solve all the worlds problems, right? Hey why not try that with solving Wars?
You know why there is an alarming rate for teenage pregnancies in communities where the majority is of low income? Abortion. Most can't afford to have one. You would be astounded at the rate teen girls from upper middle class families are getting them. Why because they can afford the mere 200 or so dollars to solve their "problem". I personally have no problem with abortion, but I don't think its the answer.
The answer is parents are too detached from their kids now days to have a real conversation with them. Relying on schools to do all the teaching for them. I mean what do you expect when kids are spending up to 6hrs a day on the internet or watching t.v? Seriously. The fact of the matter is that we have teens raising teens. What I mean by this is that teens are getting their information from other teens and not from their parents. We literally have almost no control on what our kids information our kids are getting. Site blocking is a joke, just about any teen knows how to disable it. Then there's the cellphone thing. With all the technology put into them its like carrying a computer in your pocket, that conveniently has a camera attached to it.
So if your looking for a problem look in the mirror. You're not really raising your kids, their friends and the internet are.
