Graduation: How Have We Prepared This Year's High School Class For Adulthood?

It's Prom season, the annual last dance of the year, when man look forward to that special evening with hopefully the date of their dreams. Too often prom night is promoted as the night for a boy and girl to lose their virginity, if they haven't already, and this is somehow the mark of adulthood. Graduation ends their high school career, but what are they ready to contribute to the world after school is over? Do they have professional skills, a trade, a business idea they can explore, any means of earning a living? What if they can't afford college, or what if they must work their way through college, what can they do? What if they must leave their parents' home and live on their own, are they ready? This has been a stressful season for youth, facing violence from the streets and from police, even if they enroll in college, so what have we equipped them with in order to survive as legal adults, age 18, when they are done with high school. We're all set to celebrate the transition from one phase of life to the next, but after the celebration, what then? Have we really prepared our youth for the next phase of their lives? Sholanda Parker of B&B Creations shares her observations as one who is an event planner and creative designer in the business of helping others celebrate life's big moments. Joining us in our second hour will be Ken Ealy a professional barber from Mod Style Barber Shop, and he'll take a look at some surprising new trends in hair design.
