Here's a little of the mentality of today's teenagers. Last night in my night school class, one kid told me he wasn't a boy, he was a man because he had a daughter. I told him, "that doesn't make you a man, that just makes you stupid". I don't think he liked it very much, but he didn't have anything to say except, "She called me stupid!"
Well if he's working, going to school, has goals to better his life and at the very least supporting the child and mother maybe he's on his way to becoming a man.
I sure hope so because because this world doesn't need another abandoned child and mother.
