It would be much better to be closer to 0.This problem is a result of Teen Pregnancies. (USDOJ 2003). Executive Director,,,, 3 Volunteers,,, Books, Computer, Assessment tests,, 1 classroom, one main office,. Teenagers will participate in Putting Child Poverty in the Time-Out Chair, a program that Educates Teenagers the outputs will be a monthly count of how many Teenagers sign up for and participate in the program The percent of Teen Pregnancies will be lower for those participating in the program as compared to those not participating. The percent of Child Poverty will be lower for those participating in the program as compared to those not participating. The community problem of Child Poverty will decline from the current amount of 0.54 closer to the desired lower level of 0.

5. Logical Appraoch Literature Review 1.“INTERNAL POVERTY AND TEEN PREGNANCY.” Empowering Children and Families can be instrumental in combating teen pregnancies. Many times teenagers lack a deep psychological attitude and an “I can” mentality can really help boost an adolescent's confidence. 2. “As the Pendulum Swings: Teenage Childbearing and Social Concern.” The social stigma for bearing children as almost disappeared and along with that the stigma for not being financially secure as done so as well. This is dangerous as marriage is not only a moral commitment but an economic one as two income earners is better than one for raising a child. 3. “Black Teenage Pregnancy: A Challenge for Educators.” Many times teenagers need to fulfill emotional needs that are not met at their household and they look to a male sex partner for those needs. This may be due to a father being incarcerated, a lack of emotional tenderness from living in the “hood” or a distant bond with a single mother that is often away trying to make enough money to pay for expenses.
