single mothers they are too young to? understand the responsiblity of child rearing.

It is not only in the classroom that these young ones fall short in it is their attitudes period.

The 21st century grandmothers many times can't help because they too were teen mothers and lack the wisdom to guide their grandchildren along. Sometimes when these children grow into teens and young adulthood they become entangled in the world of crime. There is no need to ask why. I feel if something isn't done later in the 21th century american society is going to pay dearly for failing to educate teen girls and boys about the results of becoming parents to early
