Thanks, Siebra, Misisrael, and Jake for your responses! Jake fill me in on what specifically you would like to hear discussed. You mentioned homos*xulality among teens, prostitution, tattoos, and teen pregnancies. Can you narrow down your concerns, and specify what your main interest is? Give me a sense of priority please. I want to make sure it is something that either has not been covered or will shed a different light on these issues. Thanks again for showing concern and being your sister's and brother's keeper.

Jake, I realize that there are a lot of hurting teens out there. I understand some of the reasons why individuals choose to stay in the closet. My interview this afternoon with at 5pm EST will get at some of the hurt Ms. Owens experienced as a teen. In a sense this is unchartered territory. I need to reflect on and pray about how to best help these teens feel whole. The epidemic of teen/homos*xual suicide and homicide along with teen self-mutilation must stop.

it needs to stop right now ...
we need to keep the doors open to the church and let the people know there is more to offer then the everyday norm ,,,start writing programs to the government to get funds to support and combat the rise of the negative issues that the black/white teens are faced with today !
we need a neighborhood by neighborhood city by city state by state comity that will sent info to the top brass so that the can regulate the funds to make it happen or go out and get people that will make a commitment to make it work ! we need unity !
