Nowis the time for you to make a difference and have some control over your future.

Kids are mad when they go to school today after leaving a dysfunctional family lifestyle at home.
With the problems of a one-parent family, drugs at home and fighting and arguments and frustrations fed by killing machine games at the arcades where they learn to kill an opponent or imaginary enemy.

Well guess what, it's a 100 times today.
