Two Riveting Stories
by Marilyn Morris, Founder/President
I love it when people send me their personal story. The following are two stories written by two men who lived extremely different lives. The choices they made as teenagers had a profound impact on the outcome of their lives. One comes from a man serving 12 years in a Colorado prison and the other from a successful businessman. Both men are hoping their stories will cause your teenagers to stop and think before they act.
Note: You might consider reading this while eating dinner. Then be prepared for some interesting discussion.

Teen Sex Is Not A Big Deal
If you're thinking teen sex is no big deal, think again.
- Over 2,000 American teenage girls get pregnant every day.
- Only 40% of teen moms finish high school.
- Less than 2% of girls, who have a baby before 18, finish college by age 30.
- Children of teen mothers start school at a significant disadvantage once they enter school when compared to those born to older parents.
- Over a lifetime, a typical college graduate will earn about $1 million more than a high school dropout.
- Each high school dropout costs America about $260,000 in lost earning, taxes and productivity.
