Crazy Stats

I've been reading a new book called iY Generation by Tim Elmore. It is a fascinating book and I highly recommend it to any Youth Pastor, Teacher, Coach, or anyone involved with the next generation. Here are a few staggering statistics out of the book.

In 2009
60% of college graduates moved back home with their parents with no plan.
30% of teenagers did not graduate from high school.
Many of these will face a quarterlife crisis at age 25.

A typical U.S. teen sends and receives an average of 1,742 text messages a month
44% of high school boys have seen a pornographic photo of a classmate on their cell phone.

For the first time in 20 years when students were asked who their hero was it was not an athlete but "mom and dad"

Staggering statistics but still so much hope. Parents keep praying for your kids and continue to model a Godly lifestyle always before them.
