Most Girls No Longer Have a Village

I like this statement not only because it is interesting, but that it is also true. When I think of a "village" I think of a close related community living together and supporting one another. If not a community, then a small group of positive people infuencing you to do well and excell. But if you do not have the support coming from your "village" then you may not be traveling down the right path. It is very important, for a young girl and teenager, to have that "village" because the people from that village are older and have more wisdom to pass down, making you a smarter and better person. If that passed down wisdom is taken in, then you probably wouldn't have to go through some of the struggles that the elders went through. I do believe that the "village" should be older people, because if younger people were the leaders of the "village" then who would they be influenced by? The media, which sends out wrong messages to the people. As we watched "Toe to Toe" I believe that most wealthy families have these problems and deal with the issues that come from having "no village." If most girls do have "villages" then there would be less family difficulties.
