  2. "It takes a village to raise a child." It means that it takes more than one person to raise one particular person. Having more than one person that raises you will give you more of a range to form in life. The people you surround yourself with will help you and teach you the correct ways to go along with life. This is true because you have more than person telling you about life and what life has to offer. Its a beautiful thing to experience new things when you have a big "village" to share it with.

  5. "It Takes a Village to Raise a Child". To me I think its true because it takes more than one person to teach a child the ways of life. A child comes upon many different experiences and circumstances during their life and often times, it is taught by someone else the right and wrong thing to do. Also to include I think that it's parents and other family members that teach the child to become a better person in life.

  6. The saying "It Takes a Village to Raise a Child" to me means that it takes a family to raise a child, which means it takes a mother and a father, stepmother or stepfather, and a guardian to help raise the child and make sure that the child is taken care of and also make sure that the child has a bonding relationship with their parents, step parents, or guardians. In the saying the word "Village" is being used, to me "Village" means family because it does take more than one person to raise a child especially if you are a single parent. Even though I do not have a child I know that it is hard for a single parent to raise a child on their own without any help. There are plenty of single parents in this world and I know that it can be or it is stressful for them, I truly think that the saying "It Takes a Village to Raise a Child" is 100 percent true because it really does takes more than one person to raise a child and make sure that the child is properly raised and well taken care of.

  8. It takes a village to raise a child means to me is that it takes your surroundings, community, church, school, and home basic instruction to form a person's identity. What you do and how you act, reflects on how you were raised.

  9. The saying "It Takes A Village To Raise A Child" is a true statement because, it means that you act the way you are raised. Your environment tells a lot about you. For example, if you are surrounded by a positive environment then you would have more of a positive attitude. Where you are from doesn't make you who you are, you can always change if you want to. People are raised differently from each other and are in different types of environments but the don't act the same and don't always have that negative image about themselves.

  12. The saying "It Takes a Village to Raise a Child" means to me that it takes a community, school, neighborhood, and home/ family. I find this statement to be true because it takes more than one person or places to teach and raise a child of the future. The children are the future so without a village or a place to live to grow then they may end up going down the wrong path and that is something we wouldn't want to happen to a child. This is why I find this statement true.

  13. "It takes a village to raise a child" means that it takes more than one person to raise a child. A child needs to learn things from more than one person. A child should not be raised by a single parent. They weren't created by one person so why should they have to be raised by one person. It takes more than one person to teach a child everything they should know about life. I find this quote to be very true.

  14. "It takes a village to raise a child", to me this means that it does take more than one person to raise a child. A child has never just learned from one person. As a child grows, he/she learns from ll around her. It takes more than one person to raise and teach a child. A child will learn from more than one person. It truly does take a village to raise a child because no one child learns from just one person.

  15. I think the saying is true because a child can not only learn from one person. A child looks up to a lot of people, when they one person or some people they admire doing wrong they will follow into your foot steps. guide a child the right way.
