While some of these facts can be startling to parents you can never give up hope on your children.  Too many parents are wondering where they can find help for their children that are in bad situations.  Whether it is teen pregnancy, tobacco, alcohol, drugs, discipline, truancy, dating violence or anything else you, as a parent, are never alone.
