Why teenagers drop out from school
Teenagers that drop out from high school usually confront bigger problems later in life. There are several reasons why teenage kids have left school. For instance, they need to help out their family cope up with financial issues. In some cases, their decisions are supported by their significant others.
Other reasons for youth drop out include:
* didn’t like the school environment.
* didn’t like the people in the campus or the teachers.
* had been suspended, expelled or subjected to disciplinary actions.
* poor grades or could not keep up with school work.
* didn’t feel safe being in school
* had alcohol or drug problem
* got married or got pregnant
Take note that dropouts mostly make up the households on welfare. They also make up almost half the prison population. It is best that parents should encourage their teenagers to graduate from high school.
