The deterioration of our society has been known for a long time now.
             Everyone knows that without a major movement of some sort, there is little
             hope for our future. Every day 1,439 teens will attempt suicide, 2,795 teen
             girls will become pregnant, 15,006 will use drugs for the first time, and
             3,506 teens will run away. Those are some large and scary numbers.
             Because of numbers like those, parents everywhere are searching for help.

             of damage to the future of these kids' lives. I use petty simply for a lack of a
             better word.) Few at the programs I was at, actually had charges against
             them. Most come from broken homes. In fact 85 percent1 of the kids at the
             Cross Creek Center facility came from either a divorced, separated, step or
