On the Rise

Seems a few things rising lately.
More pill heads than usual. Which means more overdoses. Child neglect and abuse. More and more alcohol related problems. Teens and adults.
More and more teenage mothers. Which mean more and more kids for the systems. And grandparents raising kids.
Yet we have no problems.
Got to wonder about about a few things.
We talk national problems and never see what is going on locally.
Guess some just hope it will go away. It hasn't and it won't.
Sooner or later someone will mention spending millions and then we will all get po'ed.

I have to disagree, there is nothing on the rise, its been the same if not worse.

If I read correctly recently, teen pregnancies are down nationwide (from a low from 65 years ago).

possibly on the whole, it may not reflect the area we live. I dont think things are any worse though than they have been in the past 5-7 years. Just a few years ago I thought we were living through Revalation at time.

Yes - the article was on nationwide stats.
for this area specifically I'd say it's near the same.

Id have to disagree. You would be surprised on the amount of soon to be mothers and already mothers in our own county.
