Actually... its DEBATE and DISCUSS! lol.

stats are stats... you cant argue facts.
I dont think it says the moms are incapable i think it just shows a lack of a positive male role model.. so they seek other forms of male attention. I grew up without my dad... i was pretty sexually active but i blame my own decsions for that so idk. I think there are many who just dont like to connect the dots at times.

thats not true. because i was raised by my dad. my mom had cancer since i was 3... and i still dropped outta school...

It is a very sad but true statisic. It is not pointing fingers at single moms but rather the dad's for not being involved. Girls and boys both need positive male and female influences in there lives. Girls just go out looking for a "daddy" in different ways than boys do. I am a divorced mom and I am glad for the involvement that my kids do get from their Dad,but we are lucky enough to have my fiance' around who is really here for them on a day to day basis. Also sports are a good way for kids without male figures to get that influence because most of the youth coaches are male.
And I would like to point out that just because you fit the criteria does not mean it is an absolute that is how a child will turn out. There are no absolutes in life-it just means you are in a high risk group.

So you are not part of the statistic....

Here is an example:
1 out of every 10 women will have a miscarraige..... if you have not had a misscarriage you are not the 1 out of the 10! you areone of the 9 women whodid not have a miscarriage...

Understand?

A statistic does not mean that itWILL happen, itsimply shows the likelihood!

Very well put  
ITS JUST A STAT PEOPLE!!!

Exactly.

Well i for one can attest that theory. I mighta been a wild child during my youth, but for the most part i tried not to fit into that category and both of my parents were the fair-weather type. I just used books and school to escape my homelife. My sister on the other hand was raised by both her parents( we have differnet moms) and she was the one to get pregnant first. When we was younger, everybody just knew it was gonna be ME cuz i was the one with the dysfunctional family life. I was the first to finish high school. The first to move out, she still lives @ home @ 27. and she now has 3 kids. I try not to believe them theories and i think when females act like that, they just using hte statistic as their crutch and them psych folks need an excuse for ppl's rationale anyhow.

Sorry for the crazy rant. but in other words


DONT BELIEVE THE HYPE!!!

yeah i can read. and i clearly understand what debate means. debate doesn't mean being rude. its a way of to express your opinion in a mature manner with someone else who doesnt agree. so VENTING i think is allowed anywhere you want. . so go ahead and deabte with whatever i said its not that serious and i dont even care enough.. have a wonderful day

Except for the fact that there is a place specifically FOR venting. And in my experiences when someone is venting they are looking for peopleto simply listen OR to agree with them in order to let off some steam --- NOT to enter in a debate.

Yes, of course, feel free to post a vent absolutly anywhere! But be prepared for the ramifications of posting it in a place where people like to passionately debate their opions verses posting it in a place where people are letting off steam in an unthreatening environment.

When will people realize that by posting these "I don't care" comments that it's obvious even to people watching from space that you DO clearly care?

I'm not in this at all, but just wanted to say that this is so true. If you didn't care, you wouldn't respond. {shrug}

I disagree with what you think they are trying to say. Satistics are exactly that satistics baised on what actually is. You cannot change the facts.

I believe that the reason girls raised in fatherless homes are more likely to be that way is because of the lack of a male role model. They think that their father abandond them and they need to win love from men, in most cases by sleeping with them.

I do not think that being a single mother is bad but I think that a male and a female rolde modle is very important in every childs life! This can be done through a good family friend, the parents brother or sister or even an uncle or aunt.

Quoting kalad686 [MWWBD]:“ yeah i know but it's still a shitty thing to advertise publicly. i see this commercial like every other ... [snip!] ... single mothers. we didn't make them leave or not do right by their child so why should our children be stereotyped like this?”

I think their goal is to help single mothers become aware of this so that they can fight harder to correct it and change the statistics.
