Are We Providing Our Youth with the Right Tools for Tomorrow’s World? [VJR]

HERE’S A REALITY CHECK FOR YOU:

• ABOUT 400,000 AMERICAN GIRLS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 15 TO 19 GIVE BIRTH EACH YEAR  WHICH IS THE HIGHEST RATE IN THE DEVELOPED WORLD
• 41% OF HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS ENGAGE IN ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION
• 1 CHILD IN EVERY 5 IS OBESE
• 14 MILLION SINGLE PARENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR 28 MILLION CHILDREN IN THE USA

 BASED ON THESE STATISTICS :

• ARE WE PROVIDING OUR YOUTH WITH THE RIGHT TOOLS FOR TOMORROW’S WORLD ?
• ARE THEY GOING TO BE AS COMPETENT AS THEIR GLOBAL PEERS ?
• AND WILL THEY BE ABLE TO BUILD ON THE LEGACY THAT WE AS PARENTS LEAVE THEM WITH ?
