    Just some random stats I stumbled upon:

    63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes (US Dept. Of Health/Census) – 5 times the average

    90% of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes – 32 times the average

    85% of all children who show behavior disorders come from fatherless homes – 20 times the average

    80% of rapists with anger problems come from fatherless homes --14 times the average

    71% of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes – 9 times the average

    75% of all adolescent patients in chemical abuse centers come from fatherless homes – 10 times the average

    70% of youths in state-operated institutions come from fatherless homes – 9 times the average

    85% of all youths in prison come from fatherless homes – 20 times the average

    Clearly, fathers represent a lot more than just a paycheck to a child; they represent safety, protection, guidance, friendship, and someone to look up too.

    This is not meant to offend anyone.
