No, I don't work with teenage girls and I don't visit impoverished areas. What I CAN do is my best to teach MY kids how making the right choices in life can be beneficial. My wife and I agree and work as a team, btw.

We are not rich and live in a pretty blue collar city(near Flint) so I am exposed to folks fitting the demographic.

I see poverty in kids that attend the same school as mine. I also see some of those same parents having expensive habits(tattoos, the latest cell phone, etc.) As much as I would like to share my opinion on how they are doing wrong by their kids, it isn't my place and would only create a hostile environment. I had several kids open up to me last year about how their Dad's never around or their Mom's boyfriend doesn't like them. I didn't discuss getting pregnant because they were in 5th grade and it would have been a serious problem with the school had I done so.
