Brenda's Got a baby
Why do young girls have the impression that if they dress, or dance provocatively that guys are going to pay them mind or even treat them with respect? I'm not understanding where the influence is coming from? Could it be teen parents are influencing their kids to dress like them. Remember you learn from home first. Perhaps it's the celebrities? Sex does sell, so the youth try to emulate the images they see on tv. But then again it's up to the parent to regulate what's acceptable to watch on tv. I'm 23 but I barely watch tv accept for a show or two. I would rather read than sit in front of a television screen. I understand it's the summer and kids don't want to spend their free time reading however THE PARENT should make sure their children is doing more to enrich themselves. Learning still should be going on! There are many summer programs, many which are free, designed to help keep kids minds stimulated. They go to museums, promote team work, exercise the mind as well as the body. So why do I see so many young kids playing in front of their building instead of in one of these promising programs? The same reason young girls are starting to have sex in elementary school. There's a lack of parental guidance across the board. As a community we need to find ways to communicate to others. You may know something that can benefit someone else but you have to share information. We are fighting in a war, and our children are the target. Are you prepared to fight?

Amen...You're right, it does come from the home first. Now and days, these kids know when the next release of the new Jordans are coming out or the lyrics of a song. But ask them about multiplication question or definition of a word, they will look at you like "Huh?!". It's a shame. The parents rely too much on the education system, which is wrong. NYC Public Schools teachers, the majority of the time, are overwhelmed with students. There are like over 30 students when there is supposed to be about 20. The students don't received the attention needed, so they are not able to learn correctly. When they get home, the parents should be on top of their kids when it comes to there homework & etc. The parents need to be more involved. Reduce the amount of TV being watched and have your child read a book.

I def agree about parents relying toooooo much on the public school systems. Most (NOT ALL) teachers could give two craps about the students they are paid to teach, esp for the amount of money they make.
