Parents Pushy parents are a very touchy subject to talk about. When it comes to the well fare of children, people are always ready to jump and point fingers at others without gathering the facts. The parents of theatre, gifted, and talented children get these nasty fingers pointed at them and most are due to the generalization that the media has made portraying these parents as mean, self righteous, and abusive. The honest truth is that parents care for their children and are not pushy, but
it from those that raise us. There are many types of parents, single, unwed, and teen parents who take care of their children depending on no one else or public assistance like welfare. I am going to focus on the problems and the struggles of single mothers and fathers, next unwed parents, then teenage parents and finally the effects of the children that are born of an unwed, or teenage parent.

cannot help but to ask the question: How does parental involvement affect a child’s educational career? One thing I was always curious about is simply why parents help their kids.

I have heard things from “children of single parents are generally more likely to be poor and to drop out of high school” (Pollet 2) to “they are more likely to become teen parents” (Pollet 2). Of course, me being raised by a single mother, I find these comments extremely insulting. My mother raised me with so much love and my childhood is filled with so many happy memories.
