Send a supportive message to stay in school
Send a supportive message to stay in school.
Four out of every 10 high school students in America don’t graduate from high school. It’s a statistic that’s not only appalling, but silenced. The reasons are many; from poverty to abuse, drugs, unstable homes, learning difficulties, teenage pregnancy, stereotypes, and even simple boredom. But a little encouragement goes a long way. Anything you can do to show support is a Boost.
It can be a conversation, a text message, a slap on the back, an email, or helping hand. There are a lot of teens who could use one.

I just want to say that even though its hard right now, even when it seems like theres nothing out there for you, there is. All it takes is commitment and time. For starters, come up with a goal, set that goal and reach it. No matter what others say, they can laugh at you all they want; let them laugh. Ignore all those negative comments and believe in yourself. You be all you can be. Yes, it will be hard at first, but remember what you working toward. Whether it be a nurse, doctor, lawyer, whatever it is, you go out and be that. Just imagine the feeling of accomplishment that you will receive. Even if you dont have the money, apply for scholarships. If you have a child to raise, go to night school. Do what you have to do to succeed. All you need is determination and you really have to want it. Hard work does pay off. Keep reaching high and remember this is not for others, you doing this for yourself. Good Luck!!
Here is my message for school dropouts:
You make this world less educated
All you do is say "everyone knows i care more about being dated."
Instead of saying, i've got a education.
Kind of stupid but makes a point
In this time, the economy is really bad right now. So that should give every teen and child the motivation to succeed in school. Because you may not know it, but at this moment, a bachelors degree is looking more like a diploma now. So, just imagine how much a high school diploma is worth. Just know that with an education and a college degree, you can make a difference in life.
