 * Every year the percent of children living in single parent households go up. It is really sad that the united states has the highest percentage of single parent homes. every other country is in the low thousands or hundreds we are in the 10,000. What are the people of today thinking. Alot of this has to do with teenage pregnancy to.**

**I tried to look for stats on motherless kids but everytime i typed it into google it took me straight to fatherless kids. That to me says alot about the subject because the internet has everything. Its just sad that there are more children without fathers then without mothers. All children should have both parents but of course it doesnt work out like that.**

 * I have learned from these statistics that there are more fatherless children then motherless. Sense iam a child in a single parent home i actually can relate to some of these statistics. Actually alot of children in my family are without fathers. My dad is actually in my life now a little bit but he is still in and out. i didnt even meet him until i was 12. I have actually thought about doing alot more of the things in these statistics but i have a great mother who has taught me the rights and the wrongs in this socety. Single parent homes are a problem in this society because that is one of the reasons that children are dropping out of school and abuse drugs and many other things. Also the one parent that they do have cold be abusing drugs or many other things. So this is defenitely a problem in our society but i don't think anybody knows how to really fix it.**
