Military recruiters tour the country selling a dangerous product with glamorous ads, just like tobacco companies or drug pushers. The ads promise opportunity and adventure — but don’t believe the hype.
1. Joining the military is hazardous to your education.
The military isn’t a generous financial aid institution, and it isn’t concerned with helping you pay for school. Two-thirds of all recruits never get any college funding from the military. Only 15% graduated with a four-year degree.

How Common Is Child/teen Abuse and Neglect in the USA?
Question by bad girl: How common is child/teen abuse and neglect in the USA?
The Family section on Y/A presents so many questions from teenagers and obviously pre teen posters of neglect, physical and emotional abuse, alcoholism, and drug use by parents. Are these posters truthful or are they in competition with one another for “Saddest story of the Day”?
I suspect they are truthful and I am horrified that adults could be so cruel and unthinking when raising children. Should we require a test and a license to reproduce?

Answer by i like summer
Very common in fact. it’s hard for someone to call child protection services..and nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors. i know from personal experience, my dad used to be more violent after he lost his job, but then he got another one and is less violent…he never did anything that left bruises on me, but he’d grab my arm very hard and yell at me. how could i tell anyone without proof?

Do You Agree With Ron Paul on This? What Do You Think of the Parental Consent Act Introduced by Him?
Question by : Do you agree with Ron Paul on this? What do you think of the Parental Consent Act introduced by him?
“Madam Speaker, I rise to introduce the Parental Consent Act. This bill forbids Federal funds from being used for any universal or mandatory mental-health screening of students without the express, written, voluntary, informed consent of their parents or legal guardians. This bill protects the fundamental right of parents to direct and control the upbringing and education of their children.
The New Freedom Commission on Mental Health has recommended that the federal and state governments work toward the implementation of a comprehensive system of mental-health screening for all Americans. The commission recommends that universal or mandatory mental-health screening first be implemented in public schools as a prelude to expanding it to the general public. However, neither the commission’s report nor any related mental-health screening proposal requires parental consent before a child is subjected to mental-health screening. Federally-funded universal or mandatory mental-health screening in schools without parental consent could lead to labeling more children as “ADD” or “hyperactive” and thus force more children to take psychotropic drugs, such as Ritalin, against their parents’ wishes.
