Oh boy oh boy

As I was on the train going home tonight I watched two young boys pretty much disrespect females as a whole. Even though I was disgusted by the type of conversation being held I sat quietly, listening. They talked about everything from this chick sucking them off to the one who didn't let them smash. It's crazy to me because I didn't start having sex until AFTER I graduated high school. So many guys start having sex at a young age, sometimes before females. Why is this? Is it society pressures on boys to be MEN? Being able to bust a nut doesn't make you a man though. Obviously it's not all but it's an alarming number. A old saying goes "Mommys baby and daddys maybe" if a man doesn't want to take care of his responsibilites he doesn't have to. Yes it's effed up but it happens. Either way it's the mothers responsibility. With more and more teen unwed mothers you have to ask who is being held accountable for these babies that are making babies? Sometimes we excuse the behavior of these young guys as just being young but I think that's where we go wrong. Just as we would address the way a female acts or dresses we need to do the same with the guys. With so many single mothers trying raise men it's time that the fathers get into their childs life. You as fathers need to instill morals and life values into them. Disclipline is just as important, especially in black men! More jails are popping up than schools. Society isn't doing much to find a solution to the problem, and sending them to jail is def NOT the answer. I love my city (Baltimore) more than words can express however the crime rate is crazy! I do believe If most of the youth, especially black males, had something constructive to put there energy into, the crime rate would reflect that. I know how I'm trying to help my former communtity, but what are you doing to inflict positive change in yours?
