Generations.

     I have for some time now been researching the subject of teen pregnancy. But most of all the rise in this subject. I can say it is a generational subject. As I divulge into the subject I seen a pattern developer. One of the biggest developments were in the area of who was raising the children. And it appears to me to be the parents of origin of the problem. I find myself in a quandary about this subject. I see a great number of these children having children not marring the original father and then have multiple fathers also. It kind of reminds me of a mind numbing movie in witch you already know the outcome. 


     One of the leading reasons for teens leaving school is teen pregnancy. They are 50% likely to repeat a grade, and only 2% of them earn a college degree. And about 1/4 of them have another child within 24 months. Most teen girls think they can hold onto the babies father by having their baby, but the facts are that 8 out of 10 fathers never have an on going relationship or marry the teen girl. And the big thing is that most fathers pay less than 800 dollars a year supporting their children. The hardest hit in all of this nonsense is the children. Children who live apart from the father will be 5 times more likely to end up poor and the girls are 3 times more likely to have teen babies themselves. As for the sons they are 5 times more likely to end up in prison. The numbers are staggering. 




Start by thinking it through carefully yourself. Are you ready to have sex? Are you going to wait? Though there are a variety of ways to avoid pregnancy, they can be boiled down to two basic strategies:


Delay Sex: Not having sex at all is the only 100% effective method of preventing pregnancy and STIs.
Use Contraception: If you do choose to have sex, you need to make sure that you use protection correctly every single time you have sex. There are a variety of types of contraception, so do some research and figure out which method is right for you.



Whether you choose to have sex or not, it is important to be able to talk about it with your partner. Having direct conversations about sex can be difficult or embarrassing, but if you are confident about your facts and able to express openly how you feel it should be easier. So take some time to get informed and to think through what feels right for you. It may be helpful to talk these decisions over with a close friend, parent, doctor, or other trusted adult before you talk to your partner. When you are clear about your own feelings, it will be easier to communicate them to someone else. And don’t wait until you’re in the heat of the moment to make these decisions—having a plan means being prepared before you’re in the moment.

I know that this is a small write up on the subject but this needs to be a priority to curve or educate our children on this. Like I said in this write up it is the most unfair to the children, they are the one's who are losing. We need our American family values back, like having both a strong Mother and a Father figure present. Accepting the norm of broken families as normal just contributes to broken children. The map below shows per thousands, in the world.

Information Security.

     You know I have seen a great deal of news reports on internet security, most of all in the last few weeks. Some of the stories are very true, like Russia and China and others piggybacking your computer, in other words using it as a slave. In the same instance they also mine for personal information, anything they can get their hands on benefits them. 


      Everyone these days has a correct way of dealing with these threats, and I guess mine is no different. I use the common sense approach. If it sounds too good to be true or easy it will not work properly. When you download free software online you get it is a trial version, when the trial is over you either pay for it or it just hangs out on your computer popping up from time to time asking you to buy it, it gets kind of annoying. 


     Some of the simple things you can do is keep your computers "Up Dates" up to date. Also if you have a Virus program keep it updated as well.  If you do not have a Virus Program you should get one, they are inexpensive in most cases and your information deserves this. Use obscure passwords, names and numbers mixed. Also change them from time to time. With email, never open an email from someone you do not know, if the email says FREE MONEY just open attachment, VIRUS. 
You can use programs like Lockbin it is a true 256 bit security encryption program, also Symantec Drive encryption. Cost around $25.00. That's not a bad price for protecting your personal Data. 


     You can also go to even a more secure way by using Oracle Virtual Box. This option  is great for browsing anonymous on the net. The software is free from Oracle. 


     The best advice is to use sites with HTTPS: tags and change passwords often, and most of all do not give personal information anyone you do not know. The approach to security on the Internet is common sense.

Part 2 Immigration

   

Let's just start out with these figures:

In the fourth quarter of 2012, the standard unemployment rate (referred to as U-3) for U.S.-born adults who have not completed high school was 18.7 percent.

Using the broader measure of unemployment (referred to as U-6), which includes those who want to work but have not looked recently, the rate for U.S.-born adults who have not completed high school was 30.8 percent.

The U-3 unemployment rate for U.S.-born workers who have only a high school education and no additional schooling was 9.4 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012. Using the U-6 measure, the unemployment rate was 17.3 percent.

All of the above figures are much worse for less-educated adults under the age of 30.

The total number of U.S.-born working-age adults (18 to 65) not working was 50 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. This is up almost 8.3 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2007, when the recession began.

If we consider all American citizens (U.S.-born and naturalized), the number of working-age adults not holding a job was 53.7 million.

More than half (26.9 million) of working-age American citizens not holding a job have no education beyond high school. This is a huge pool of potential less-skilled workers.

The above figures for less-educated citizens not working do not include the 3.2 million adults forced to work part-time, nor do they include the 7.1 million teenagers (16 and 17) not working. They also do not include the 142,000 less-educated U.S. citizens over age 65 who are actively looking for a job.

In hosting America's largest population of illegal immigrants, California bears a huge cost to provide basic human services for this fast growing, low-income segment of its population. A new study from the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) examines the costs of education, health care and incarceration of illegal aliens, and concludes that the costs to Californians is $10.5 billion per year.

Now do not get me wrong I believe in immigration, in the legal sense. But when you here these groups like La Raza say "what have we done wrong?" I say well you broke the law on day one of your entering the U.S. illegally. Over the past 20 years countries in the E.U. have absorbed a growing number of immigrants from North Africa and Asia. They now out number the population of natural born citizens in Britain France, Germany, Greece and so fourth. You might think that is not a big deal, but when you look at how much debt these countries are in and how strained their infrastructure is you might just rethink your position.

Don't take my word for it search for these answers yourself. You will be very surprised on what you find.

This site is a good place to start.
