I went to one of the most notorious high schools in New Haven. Everybody assumed that every student in the school would be one/some/all of these statistics: pregnant, suffer an early death, or drop out. And I know a lot of people who have fallen victim to these statistics. But I feel as though they followed the wrong path because they needed guidance.
Guidance from someone who chose the correct path and not their friends. Or even a parent that knows where the wrong path can lead you. And is willing to support and motivate their daughter to keep them on the correct track. Girls these days need positive role models. Everyone is so concerned with the "pathway to prison pipeline" for GUYS because they need fathers. People should start to pay attention to devastatingly high rate of pregnancy in these children. What exactly do they believe that these girls are looking for when they find themselves pregnant. They aren't looking for gumdrops and lollipops. They are looking for love from men, to fill a void within them.
Girls do not get pregnant by themselves. Come on these are not the days in which immaculate conception still exists.
Younger people in general not only need guidance, they need protection; someone who can secure their youth/innocence. Children do not stay children for long due to the fact that people do not believe in censorship anymore. Children do not watch Disney movies anymore. I mean the Disney channel exists, but the kids on those shows are all chasing love.
In addition to guidance and protection, high school students need love. Motherly, Fatherly, Sisterly, Brotherly Love!! If these girls felt love, they would stop looking in all the wrong places
