The behavior of today’s female youth is becoming outrageous and is growing to ridiculous numbers. The activities in which young teenage females partake in are not that of which I believe they were raised to even be around. As far as I know, in being a teen the only thing we should be worrying about is getting our education, getting a job, and getting ready for college. But now teens worry more about who’s wearing what, who’s drinking what, who’s doing who, and when am I going to be apart of this.
It seems to me that the direction female youth are heading in leads right off a cliff, but I am sure no one meant for them to go in that direction. It is said that 48.7 percent of households in America have single mothers as heads of the households. Meaning, the mothers take care of responsibilities that should be shared with the father as well as the mother. But every day the population of both parents in the household seems to be decreasing, and mothers are taking the role of everyone. Where are the fathers?
It has been seen on the local news how young females from high school seniors to even elementary school students are becoming involved in behaviors of which people that witness them do not feel it’s true and wish it wasn’t true. It would never seem they act the way they do until they open their mouths or until you’ve witness them in the act yourself. They are becoming substance abusers and criminals as early as the ages of twelve. Teen females are engaging in sexual acts and soliciting themselves over the internet and it has become evident that the main causes of this would be lack of attention and absenteeism of fathers in the home.
A father’s involvement in teaching his children, especially his girls, is very important for their future. It is important for girls to learn first hand from their fathers everything there is for him to teach with such issues as guys, leadership, courage, and most importantly life. But it seems that this issue relies mainly on the mothers when they are left not only to take care of the family, bills, and job, but they also have to find the time to talk to their children about guys, leadership, courage, and life.
It takes two to tango, and to this end I strongly support the involvement of fathers in their daughters’ lives for the betterment of their future.
