from there the started noticing that i was feeling different all the sudden like you're either believe it or you're pregnant and i was like i don't think i'm believing a like i had all the time as i like while i watch a pregnancy test and i was like what as it's kind of like that or and so like there's a pregnancy test and it came out positive and just kind of fried and so my mom told me what any other parent would say to their kid. you're going to be fine we're going to get through this no matter what happens. what am i going to do how am i going to finish school how am i going to do any of us at all . just. terrified out of my mind. it turns out in the u.s. right now an awful lot of children are being born to young parents and parents who are not married to each other that is about 50 percent of the births of the

youngest generation in other words about half of the birth in the youngest generation are babies born outside of marriage to typically quite young parents we have normal over the years by doing careful study with kids who are from single parent families generally education. in themselves. or they also have. kids who come from married couples or. more of our kids were with their married parents live for their whole child with their married parents that all sorts of huge differences will do better in school will be will likely will college and even the family composition is changed dramatically over the last 3 or 4 decades we are still. we were kids.

so i think americans are going to figure this out single parents alone have high stress levels. because it gets them because they're single parents. as teenagers we have these adult so we feel like. but we're very valuable isn't that we're still children or way our emotions go up and down and. kids are making these very tough decisions around friends and peer groups and they're making a lot of decisions around relationships and who they're falling in love with and the intimacy with those people and it's just this kind of like these tough things like what really is a lot of kids in poverty. i never thought i would. ever play because i was i am i still am training did i do so much charity work so much community service or everyone at school is like the spring business you the

smart one and she would get one from her family isn't she the church girl i never thought this would happen. you don't think from one night. it's going to pop out 9 months later you just think oh i have it once you're going to 5. and a half. and know when you see the picture blue your whole world just. turned upside down. and when you talk about participating in risky behavior whether we're talking about having sex doing drugs drinking watching pornography whatever it is getting involved in social media and becoming really addicted to whatever device it is that you're using if we're talking about any of those risks to be i think it's important to consider. the outcomes of those that. it's important to

consider that we're not living for just this moment we have a child don't. really think about the cost that it takes to be a parent the cost in time the cost and finances and i would encourage you to wait until you're married before you have kids wait until you know you've got that 2nd parent . that can help you raise that child what kills me is when i see a kid with all the academics to rock it you know they get these all lazy finally they finally break this glass ceiling where they put all this hard work in their academics and then they get pregnant with their with their high school sweetheart and i think literally just take 3 steps back and i think it's because there's an. intelligence we just don't talk about like relationship and the strategy around what you do as an emotional being. always been a daddy's girl i would go to him for everything. and i got pregnant he

distanced himself along he had different views than i did when i told him i was going to keep matthew. you're going to keep. not going to keep you like he saw me completely. i had matthew on april 26th. i called a month later to see how he was doing. to catch up to see if he wanted to see my son he calls me. this like i still can't believe you decided to keep him you could have had a future now you're not going to have anything. and it's been still 3 years. and i haven't heard from him once i've heard it from people one of my teachers actually. when i wasn't there and everyone from the class told me she said if wendy was my daughter. i would take the baby away from her. that myself for sure but now

she's not going to amount to anything. and hearing it from my dad now. and saying you're not going to announce anything you're not going to have a future anymore because i decided to keep my son. broke me. and we as a society have lied to you we've been dishonest. because what we have said. is that you can behave any way that you choose you can make any decision or choice that you want to make whatever you feel this this day you can make those kinds of decisions and we will do the best that we can to alleviate the cons. but the fact is we cannot alleviate the consequences it is true that you make your own decisions you can choose any of these paths that you want to choose but we're being dishonest to you when we say we can help you avoid consequences there are consequences for

the choices that you made having sex outside of marriage is not going to fill the void that you're trying to fill it only creates more and more of a vast open and deep within you because you are opening yourself in the most mourner of a way to another human being who is in no way committed to and his whose actions are really out of selfishness and likely and a desire to meet a need that day. the day i had him i started getting ready i started getting pain and then but when i got there they told me it was too late for me to get better i'm just bawling my eyes out of like i don't know what to do i've never done this and whenever he got there. i was scared the 1st time i change just like right. like i care and change the diaper. what do you mean you

can't just like i can do the i am fix tina i can do this i cannot. i cannot just call work and raise a child. this precious little boy mile at me and i'm thinking i can't do this at all the only thing going through my head was i cannot do that. if you find yourself pregnant at 15 there is no easy option for you you can choose to have an abortion and that is not an easy option it leaves damage for the rest of your life for you and for your family. having a child at 15 made all kinds of issues because now you're not just a typical high school kid you're responsible for another human being you're going to have to find a way to bring in candy you're going to have to tend to a sick baby in the middle of the not when you have homework and you have to get up

early and go to class yourself and then your other option would be to place your baby for adoption which is the most difficult decision i've ever seen a young person it is a wonderful choice and it is often the best choice for that child but it is heart wrenching and extremely difficult so once you find yourself in an unplanned pregnancy we can't take away those consequences and you now have very difficult decisions to me. so i have my little brother you know i. will be about to be doing it for. a wake up at 6 in the morning around 5 and i will wake up my little brother and mother around 720 i will get matthew ready for my sisters at 730 take my little brother to squat $730.00 i get to school and i'm racing i'm rushing to get there i get out of school i want 30 and i would going to work out to get off. i asked my sister shall i play with matthew for the 30 minutes

that i have and then i go to work and whenever i get my 30 minute lunch break into thinking go to my fish al and spend time with them go back and then i get off work around 9 am i going to put them both this week after i think the queen i will start working on my homework at around 1030 and i usually call for a better 100. 54 jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to air force base in alaska where is that to say come on i'll show you what's the reason for any type of enhanced u.s. military presence in this area rush up. what is it suddenly about the south china sea that makes it so that it 11000000000 barrels of oil.

take a look at this map who really owns what kind of says no it belongs to us india says no we claim that that belongs to us both of these countries have nuclear weapons capabilities there is reason for concern so that's why we're going to drill down on this story for you today right here on the news with rick sanchez where you know as we always like to say we do believe by golly it's time to do news again. the money is in money. on the side of. the main thing about saving time about what was it once again time that was the sense of on love lives in the one time. when we were on the side that. seen the following you can buy. the simple what economists

call him but i'll. give up on now i'm by the i'm not gonna. eat. we go to work. straight home. on. time. so what i would say to

a 15 year old is. i apologize that you have convinced me. that you are lazy that you are being tied or that you are incapable that you are selfish because i don't believe any of those things and. i believe that you have a purpose i believe that greatness is only. believe that you bring value into other people's lives and you'll bring value to the lot of this child if you choose to hear that it's not going to do things and when you have failed and it is now our job to come alongside of and support you to enable you to make better choices go. my mama watch matthew the 1st year that i have and i want to tell their. thank you mom i love her i appreciate you and what she would say. ok she shows her love differently. you would show her love by watching him. taking care of me making

shadow on my head. she told me for the 1st time i know i never tell you this often but i'm so proud of you you have a baby you are working you're going to form not only that you're getting all the shit she told me that i was a fighter if i don't and if. you're a strong woman fighting. for me to get a message from her saying i'm proud of you and everything that you're complicated everything that's regularly for me was the best pres i could ever get this is what i have been working for him he years to get us some. i'm proud of. there's a group of villagers working the fields of fire river when someone in the group

noticed a baby floating downstream. one of the men rushed into the water rescued the baby and brought it to shore before it could recover a number of babies were found floating downstream for long there was a steady flow of babies floating down the river and the whole village was involved in the rescue efforts pulling babies out of the water and making sure they were made safe but not all of them could be. some are pulled under by the raging river whether slipped through the villagers hands while others fell back into the water as the villagers tried to save them. the villagers were saving as many babies as they could before along the beach and sawston from all their effort. frustrated controversy erupted on one group argued that every possible hand was needed downstream to help. the babies they didn't have everyone's hope they would

lose too many downstream. the other group argued that every possible hand was needed upstream secure find out how the babies were getting into the water to save all of them in a limb and ate the meat for the costly time consuming efforts downstream. to find out how these babies are falling into the river in the 1st place we can stop this and no more babies will drown if we go upstream we can eliminate the cause of the problem. but it's too risky some said might fail or take too long. to lose too many lives. away to the ones we've lost and our future children to fix the problem upstream and

save one else falling into. a drought from a separate water fountain used in taxes well how much. ok what was different about the water. coming out of it found. that you have a mountain that was of the both. mother grew up more real than most of the. people completely. all that life all for. based around. when you. get out there to ways to address poverty one is to try to prevent it from ever occurring in the 1st place and the 2nd is if it does occur to a 1000000 you know provide people with. assistance with childcare hours

a day has to be. have to help those who are in need. and you have to help those. in the future and in order to do both you have to work downstream you know the circumstances that got us to where we are are unique and so our approach to every person and every family and poverty needs to be as unique as that person in that family and that's difficult to do and it's a little overwhelming to think about but people are different it's interesting looking back historically on what we've done to address poverty in the united states it's mostly been to provide people with assistance of various kinds and those things are needed i think we should not leave people destitute and without such assistance. there is not a lot of evidence that those things are going to move people out of poverty except

temporarily i don't think americans are in favor of simply redistributing income what they want is to provide everyone an opportunity to get ahead on their own we believe in equality of opportunity not equality of results. i went to a conference once the conference was an opportunity conference where we invited 74 families from our community and hopes to just allow a pathway to cycle out of poverty majority of the people in this conference were generational poverty so they came in and they heard from dr diaby goal are her story and we're encouraged it was the 6 hour program and she would say how many of you know what it is to have a disconnect notice how many of you know what it is to receive an eviction notice and for long arms were coming up and she allowed them to see that if i. can do it

you can too we all have hope with us sometimes it just gets buried so i had the opportunity to visibly see hope rise to the surface of 74 people and that's not something that you can contain we knew you can't contain hope i left this place with hope and i'm going to tell everybody about it i want them to know what i know and i'm going to succeed because people came in the room that didn't know me and i matter i wasn't born i. i am hard. right i'm no longer in this isolation where i'm irrelevant or i have to walk around and lead with this label of shame little by little the hope starts to take that label off and when people come into place you're able to replace that label with words of worth instead of allowing that person to feel.

we all are the same when it comes to what our basic needs are and what our basic desires are and i think if we really think about what we have in common with one another that's where we can start to create a basis of understanding a person saying i'm not going to judge you i'm not going to criticize you i'm not going to do you value your lived experience because it's different than my you say to the other human being what ever. dream you've ever had is still possible. when i was growing up it felt like there were a few gives that were completely off the leash. and there are a few kids that were trying really hard to make good choices and really had their focus at where it needed to be but most of the. we're somewhere in this gray area

where we're trying to get our toes as close as we can without completely stepping over but really convicted either way we're just trying to get good at. what i see now is that there are more kids off the rails. there are very few. but there are a lot of young people who are committed who are strong who are focused who want to make good. and who are making and. that is my hope for the next generation. and that hope comes from the stories that we tell that hope. saying to our scholars

you can do this we're going to stand by we're going to help you get through this day after the power to turn the ship and the captains make good decisions after that. one of the bigger you have to realize that if you do think 24 hour compound interest of things that we're going to take you to places that you can't even understand what you do to day is going to play more compound interest than anything else you're playing a game that's bigger than yourself you're playing a game for yourself or your family's name for your kids that don't even exist yet for your grandkids who are going to benefit off of the hard work you put into that . not all poverty is preventable but we know certainly that based on research and the research that we're using for our programs some of that can be preventable we want . we want to help the community around us now it's what we're trying to rally our

community around and support a lot of times when i work with people who currently live in the crisis of poverty they also are not smart enough to get a skill not smart enough to go to college to ask for help you got to ask for help in poverty issue don't ask for help. that's the wrong message. nobody makes it alone absolutely no one we have to work together we have to overlap with other organizations we have to be community biting was the key is allowing hope and we can't allow what we can't communicate hope we can allow worth until there's a relationship. that not only helps those who are in the river but also gives them the tools to help their kids in their kids not be in the river that's the movement we want when we reach out to people across. these barriers of poverty barriers of political opinion that. we can really

find some unique treasures in people who are different from us and find out that they're not so different after all.

during the vietnam war u.s. forces. it was a secret war. and for years the american people did not know. how much it is officially the. country per capita. millions of unexploded bombs still in danger lives in this small agricultural country jordyn wieber. even today kids in laos full victim to bombs drugs decades ago this is the us making amends for the tragedy in laos to the people need in that little.

no we claim that that belongs to us both of these countries have nuclear weapons capabilities there is reason for concern so that's why we're going to drill down on this story for you today. right here on the news with her chance as where you know as we always like to say we do believe by golly it's time to do news again. i 1st heard about you know. from the helicopter folks in iraq. and i think the town of people are going to be going to its military who have never forgiven or. forgotten freighters the truth of the book and every little bit of it leads to something he was really starting to have. independent journalists that you don't. see a lot of crimes to have not been on. the idea of developing an anonymous
