Become a Partner The need for a ministry such as NGI is great. Did you know that … | Studies have found that the conditions linked with family structure are better predictors of problem behaviors in juveniles than race or ethnicity. (Snyder & Sickmund, 2006; National Fatherhood Initiative, 2004) | | Parents who are connected with their children are significantly more likely to have adolescents who delay sexual initiation [and] adolescents of parents who disapprove of teen sexual activity and contraception are significantly more likely to delay sexual activity. (Medical Institute for Sexual Health, 2006) | | Close to a million teenagers become pregnant each year. (Medical Institute for Sexual Health, 2006) | | Over one third of girls in this country become pregnant before the age of 20. Three out of 10 of these pregnancies will end in abortion. (Medical Institute for Sexual Health, 2006) | | Twenty percent of teens are sexually active before the age of 15. (Medical Institute for Sexual Health, 2006) | | Teens who talk to a parent about sex tend to wait to have sex, have fewer sexual partners, and are more likely to name a parent than a peer as a good source of information about sex. (Medical Institute for Sexual Health, 2006) | | It is estimated that 4 million adolescents between 12-17 years old are current alcohol users; more than 3 million adolescents are current cigarette smokers; nearly 4 million have used marijuana in the last year; and more than 3 million have used an illicit drug other than marijuana in the last year. (Wallace, Myers, & Osai, 2004) | | As of 2000, 19 million (28.6 percent) children 17 and under have been exposed to alcoholism, alcohol abuse, or both in their families at some time in their lives. (Wallace, Myers & Osai, 2004) | | In 2003, only 29 percent reported having their parents involved in their schooling. (Search Institute, 2005) | | In 2002, almost one million children were confirmed as being maltreated by child protective services. (CDC, n.d.) |
