re: America has a father crisis.

Obviously I am no expert, but it just seems like kids are not disciplined today.. If they are, then they must take a different approach, but parents have more of a friendship with their kids.. I guess that's good, kids and teenagers needs some type of discipline. Its just natural that kids and teenagers will do stupid shite and when their parents are more like their friends instead of being worried about their parents finding out, its the first people they call to help them get out of trouble.

Then when you have a single parent home (which is usually the mother raising the kids) they lack that balance. One parent can't teach them everything and if the parents are divorced and they have to go back and forth, they are not getting the stability kids need. But even if its not their father, they need some type of male influence.
