DADS MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Dad, you might not feel like your presence is very important. You might not feel like you are making a difference, but you are.

Fatherless kids are more likely to:

- Be convicted of a violent crime (2,000% more likely than those with fathers)

- Be involved in a teen / unwed pregnancy (700% more likely)

- Be involved in homosexuality, rape, sexual deviance (1,400% more likely)

- Be a high-school dropout (900%)

- Attempt suicide as a teenager (500%)

- Run away from home (3,200%)

- Abuse drugs / alcohol (1,000%)
