SINGLE FATHERS AND THEIR IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY

Single fathers in the community don't receive a lot of recognition,due to the fact that they are out numbered by the rate of absent fathers.The community focuses on the troubled youth who are fatherless,for various reasons.The impact a single father can have on the community is by leading by example,so that other fathers who need to step up to the plate for their own children,perhaps will be inspired by the commitment they see in the single father to his children.Hopefully they'll catch on.Single fathers give their children structure and prepare them for the world outside the home,they teach their young,how not to become a victim of the negative influences in the community,such as gangs ,drugs & sexual predators,or not to become menaces to society.Single fathers can talk to other fathers about the importance of being tn their child's life on a full time basis.From my own experience,I have received respect from youth in the community,who appear to want their own fathers in their lives.Being a single father is essential these days,when the mother is absent from their children's lives,We must all do what is needed to Save Our Children..........NO VIOLENCE-KNOW PEACE!
