Child Abuse in America

Child Abuse in America was grown a great deal in the last twelve years. In 2012 alone there was 500,000 reported neglect cases and that was only 78.3%, 100,000 reported physical abuse cases at 18.3%, 60,000 reported sexual abuse cases at 9.3%, 50,000 Physiology Maltreatment cases at 8.5%, and 20,000 reported Medical Mistreatment cases. We as a whole have to color together and stop the abuse in the world. Child Abuse is one of the reason our generation has come lost and that has to change.

Here is a link:  http://www.childhelp.org/pages/statistics that will show just how bad abuse numbers are.

T-MAC's Back To School Giveaway

The first twelve student out of 200 that came out for Teens Making A Change's back to school giveaway.  

Take Care Of Self First

Sometimes we be so in tune with other things until we forget about ourselves... Take Care Of Self  First..

They work hard.. We reward them..

They work so hard at the car wash we hosted on June 7. All it takes is just a little time to talk to them and work with them. So many people are so quick to write them off instead of showing them how to become a positive adult. Kids and teenagers watch our every step and they repeat we they see. I think these kids and teens deserve to have someone to show them a good example.

"Hold On And Don't Let Go"

If you have a dream never give up on it. Sometimes we don't want to try anymore because it gets difficult and we feel like we are in it by ourselves. It could be that you are in it alone but find your motivation that will push you to your next level. You hold on to your dream and don't let it go. I don't remember the teachers saying " Yes your dream will be easy to achieve". They always said you had to work hard for it. A lot of us let go because of an obstacle that are place in front of us to make us stronger. Without those obstacles you will never be ready for our dream. Hold On And Don't Let Go....

Fun, Safe, and More Fun

 Teen Making A Change will be having a Splash Day on July 26th @ Cochran Recreational Department from 11am-4pm. Come out and have some fun!!!
