That's only what some sources w/in the media want us to buy into. Many people still feel & believe that the majority of those caught in the machinery of this country's welfare system are Af-Ams, & that too is a fallacy. Look it up! <br /><br />The problem w/ teen pregnancy is multi-layered, & it stems from a lack information & proper resourcing regarding opportunities for young people... The sad reality of still-born dreams & a lack of desire to plan for a better furture, a lack of role models who give them options in which they can aspire, a lack of birth control in the right hands, a lack of solid parenting, & parents who actually GIVE A DAMN about their kids, a loneliness in some young people who feel a new baby will magically dissolve the problems they may be experiencing. None of these are issues are necessarily racial, but more about the class/social structure within this country.<br /><br /><br />One.Moanerplicityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02750801733829859144noreply@blogger.com
