".you're way in over your head. I am one of those kids who grew up without a father. There are all kinds of reasons why kids become violent........having a single parent is just one of them. Other factors play into the matter.........to ignore them while emphasizing one stat is just pure unadulterrated BS." after Giffords was shot you posted " I wish all right wingers would die" you seem like a very violent person, so it looks like you just proved less's point

I have not ignored other factors but all the other factors are exacerbated for children growing up in fatherless homes. I have not shown you a study, I have presented you with several. They all agree dude. Is it a conspiracy of everyone? According to Getting Men Involved: The Newsletter of the Bay Area Male Involvement Network: 63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes (Source: U.S. D.H.H.S., Bureau of the Census 90% of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes 85% of all children that exhibit behavioral disorders come from fatherless homes (Source: Center for Disease Control) 80% of rapists motivated with displaced anger come from fatherless homes (Source: Criminal Justice & Behavior, Vol 14, p. 403-26, 1978.) 71% of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes (Source: National Principals Association Report on the State of High Schools.) 75% of all adolescent patients in chemical abuse centers come from fatherless homes (Source: Rainbows for all Gods Children.) 70% of juveniles in state-operated institutions come from fatherless homes (Source: U.S. Dept. of Justice, Special Report, Sept 1988) 85% of all youths sitting in prisons grew up in a fatherless home (Source: Fulton Co. Georgia jail populations, Texas Dept. of Corrections 1992) (Because only a portion of each age group grew up in a fatherless home,) these statistics translate to mean that children from fatherless homes are: 5 times more likely to commit suicide 32 times more likely to run away 20 times more likely to have behavioral disorders 14 times more likely to commit rape 9 times more likely to drop out of high school 10 times more likely to abuse chemical substances 9 times more likely to end up in a state-operated institution 20 times more likely to end up in prison. · Fatherless Home Statistics The female-headed household is a strong predictor of suicide among young adult and adolescent white males. · Matriarchy Marked by Tribalism and Violence Feminism reigns when men don't claim their children. · Fatherless Boys Grow Up Into Dangerous Men.

" I am one of those kids who grew up without a father. " Which are you? Studies on resilient youth have demonstrated that a boy who grows up without a father may succeed in having strong normal relationships, a stable career, and healthy community involvement if there were some entity that substituted the need to bond with significant positive male role models in the child's upbringing (Grandfather, uncle, etc) However, when no such influence was present we could end up with a really disfunctional adult; like a self loathing white boy who advocates for the diminishment of his own race. This would be especially true with regards to men (like him), often referring to them as racists with no justification at all. This person would express hatred for the country and culture of his upbringing, especially toward persons most like himself. This person would hold exaggerated and romanticized ideas about 'other' sub-cultures. Not surprising since we now know that matriarchies are marked by fear, tribalism, and violence. Facts and Figures In the United States alone, 21.2 million children (26% of all children) are growing up in a household with only one custodial parent.1 Among Black children, 48.5% are growing up with a single custodial parent.2 5 out of every 6 custodial parents are mothers (84%), 1 in 6 are fathers (16%).3 Poverty Children in father-absent homes are five times more likely to be poor. In 2002, 7.8% of children in married-couple families were living in poverty, compared to 38.4% of children in female-householder families.4 Drug and Alcohol Abuse The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services states, "Fatherless children are at a dramatically greater risk of drug and alcohol abuse."5 Sexual Activity and Teen Pregnancy Adolescent females between the ages of 15 and 19 years reared in homes without fathers are significantly more likely to engage in premarital sex than adolescent females reared in homes with both a mother and a father.6 Children in single parent families are more likely to get pregnant as teenagers than their peers who grow up with two parents.7 Educational Achievement In studies involving over 25,000 children using nationally representative data sets, children who lived with only one parent had lower grade point averages, lower college aspirations, poor attendance records, and higher drop out rates than students who lived with both parents.8 Fatherless children are twice as likely to drop out of school.9 Crime Children in single parent families are more likely to be in trouble with the law than their peers who grow up with two parents withoutafather.com
