Daddy Issues

Boys raised by a single mom
Are twice as likely to commit crime.

Teenage girls of the same
Are four times
More likely to get pregnant early

All of their chances
For mental health problems
More than double
As he walks out of the door.

Four times more likely
To live in poverty,
Fifty percent more likely to repeat a grade,
More likely to just drop out.
More likely to run away,
More likely to face adult unemployment,
More likely to struggle in future relationships.

So many More Likelys
Than I can bear typing.
