9th: you have hit the nail on the head again.... Having, raised four sons of my own and having four other [ lost teen friends of my sons ], you are 100% correct that the mentoring and right of passage thru these teen years needs proper direction... My father was never there, and my mother divorced when i was ten..
She remarried and had three more children, with my step father... Who was not to me or his own children.... This is truly the problem in the getto and the burbs today... No male direction for the younger males.... Thanks for your search for the truth...
