Fatherless Families and Homes!

Children from homes without a father are more likely to become involved in drug and alcohol abuse, remain or become poor, are a higher percentage of school dropouts, and ache from emotional and other health issues. There are more fatherless girls that add to the list of teen pregnancies and more boys are incarcerated sooner than later.

Children from fatherless homes are also more easily involved with drugs and alcohol and twice as likely to commit suicide. School grades are lower in single parent households headed by females. Fatherless children act more violent than in a traditional household and are sexually active at a much younger age.

Boys need a father that cares. They need a role model they can look up to, learn and teach their future children. It is in a mother's nature to teach their children their female ways and therefore, there is a much higher number of disoriented children in this country.

The lack of discipline from a father shows in a young boy's handshake, the non-existing eye contact when speaking to another person and the fear confronting authority. A single mother can do only so much and then she has to pay the consequences.
