Maybe many teens think they don't have the potential or purpose to be in school. They could have personal problems, or other issues they may deal with. Also, teen pregnancy could contribute to teens dropping out.
You may be correct. The self-confidence in students today is at an all time low. It is the parents job and the educators job to raise their confidence in attaining their personal goals. We must guide them toward the right direction.A lacking practice of guidance has plagued our education system.
Those ideas seem right....but what can we do to stop kids from dropping out of school??? Is there any actual way to stop them or is it more depending on their reason??? What do you think??? And yes, we should guide them toward the right direction.
Last year, in the middle of my senior year in high school, I decided to drop out. Growing up I had many problems with friends, and I grew to have a distaste for people--especially my own age. I have grown to be more positive, and I went back to school, where I'll be graduating in June. But, also, my school doesn't really motivate it's students. In classes they tell us that staying in school will get you more money, and a better job outlook, but they never talked about happiness nor satisfaction. When I went in to tell them my plans of dropping out a year ago, they just said, "Okay. Bye.", and didn't really try to talk me out of it, or make any positive statements.
So, for kids with that kind of educational environment, I can definitely see how it's hard to stay motivated enough to keep going.
I am a statistic so many people think that because I am 16 &* pregnant,that I dropped out of school.Well,that's partially true.I didn't feel like I could stay in school &* be there for my kid too,so I moved &* dropped out.I recently went to sign up for an eduacation program where I live now,&* they made me feel like I could do anything that I set my mind to,&* they looked past the pregnancy issue to help me find the right program for my lifestyle.I am now looking forward to going to the Technical center down the road &* getting my high school diploma so I can go to college just like i wanted to.And I only have to go for 3 hours!So,I can still take care of my kid &* be there to watch it grow.And that really motivates me.
I think teens drop out because they can't take the pressure anymore. I know I have thought about it, but I would never do something so stupid and my mom would never allow it. School has become tough, like math for instance. I know I've felt like school is just too much to handle sometimes cuz of all my absent days (scoliosis surgery) and then I'm far behind and can't take all the pressure of all the work and exams. I want to pass Highschool,I want to go to college. I don't ever want to drop out,but sadly sometimes the pressure is too much for me to handle. The stress gets to me and I just wanna scream at the top of my lungs. Some teachers have tried to help and have said that if I want to I could come for extra help after school but I can't because I have Physical therapy. I don't think I'll ever get school.... but atleast I can try.
i think they drop out because they think they wont need the stuff when the grow up. im only eleven and i already know that what you learn is what you're going to need when you grow up.
people drop out of school because they start getting lazy to get up in the morning . so they decide that one day hey im not going to school and then thee next dayy do the same thing . then thats when they find them self droping out of school it aint good so i dont see why do it . i guess if you drop out of school you cant have a good job in the future
there is nothing wrong with dropping out of school! if you do want to go to college, you don't have to go to high school and grade school,parents tell you that to trying to get you to go, but you don't have to!! it's not a law, and you do not need to attend high school to attend college. I never sat a test in my life, never been "educated", I am not homeschooled, I am unschooled! if you have any questions feel free to ask me, but I'm just here to say that school is one option out of hundreds!! dropping out is not bad, and those who do drop out,are not lazy,unmotivated, or uneducated!!
dropping out of school is not "a problem" it's an answer!
I think teens drop out of school because they feel that its simply not for them. Some people are just called to different things weather it be school or not. I don't think you have to school to be successful, however it does benefit you. I think that you can be successful if you don't go to school. It's all up to the person and what they feel their mission is in life.
I agree Siera53093! I completely agree with what you said, except for one thing, I don't think that going to school necessarily gives people a better chance of "success". Although I definitely agree that it is a "different strokes for different folks" kind of situation! most people ignore that, or pretend it doesn't exist, or are simply uneducated in the way of education!
i agree, don't drop out. but try an alternative school if you don't like your school
I attended a correspondence school for all my years of high school- didn't have to step one foot in a high school.
I graduated early, got my diploma, and so far working on college stuff. It was hard, but worth it.
I got out 2 years earlier then all my friends I went to school with- yes, that made a few kind of mad, but in the end I wouldn't have changed my decision at all.
you go gurl!!!
or should i say, lil mama?
see, people should continue their dreams even if they do get pregnant in high school- it worth your future and your childs future. I'm sure your child will be proud of you as its mom one day.
you know what? I'm going to go out on a limb here, and encourage people to drop out of school! leave school, find your own education, lead your own life, live to follow your dreams, live to love, live to do what you love, forgo tests, forgo teachers, there is no need to be tied down, learn about what you want to learn about, what ever you want to do with your life, you don't need to go to school! Dropping out can definitely be a good thing, and if more people did it it would be considered more socially acceptable. the only bad reason to drop out of school, is because you don't think you're worth anything! that is the only reason that is bad. Every other reason, every other reason why anyone would ever want to leave the American Australian or British educational system is a good reason! just remember, you are worth it! you are worth finding your own way! you are worth freedom! you are worth self educating! not homeschooling, unschooling!
hey giggleheart! It is great to hear that you are persevering! School can be hard at times, but remember to take time to destress. Try playing board games with your family, going for a walk with your mom, watching a movie with friends, or making huge ice cream sundaes! Anything that allows you to just take a break will help reenergize your effort. Also use your guidance counselor if you need some one to talk with, I was great friends with mine! Best of luck- I know you can do it :)
You all have great points! School allows students to learn more about our more and more complex world. Each subject can help you in some way, and you may end up loving one of them! School also allows people to develop social and time management skills. Some of our society's greatest leaders are extremely well versed in many different topics and lead the way to new inventions, ideas, and movements!

But if you don't go to grade school, middle school, or high school, you won't learn the basics so you can go to college! And if you don't go to college you won't get a good job, and if you don't get a good job you won't be able to support yourself let alone a family. I noticed that you didn't use correct punctuation, didn't spell correctly, and didn't use correct grammar. How are you going to get a job if you couldn't even type a resume correctly? Dropping out is not an answer. Mark my words, you will regret later on in life when you are poor and living on the streets.

I want to know what made you leave school. There's nothing bad about it. By leaving school you choose the bad decision because it doomed you career life.
Emjae, all I can say to you is that you noticed correctly. I am the most highly dyslexic under 18-year-old in the United States of America at this moment, so says the woman who runs the American Institute for children with dyslexia. I use voice recognition software, and I recently got new software. It isn't properly trained yet, and therefore, it still makes several typos. So yes, I'm sure there were several small mistakes in my previous post, and if for any reason you couldn't understand what I was saying, I highly apologize to you, my dyslexia inconveniences me in a lot of ways, a lot of ways more profound than you could ever imagine. Also, if you don't go to grade school, high school, middle school or any other school, that doesn't mean you won't be able to get into college. You learn a lot more than you might think from life, and you don't need to go to school to learn it. It's called unschooling, and hundreds of thousands of people across America, and in other countries unschool their children and teens.
many unschoolers go to college, and although this might surprise you, many colleges particularly search for unschooled young adults. Unschoolers tend to be more dedicated and more motivated, and that's what 'they' look for in college. I don't really want to go to college though, not right now anyway, so that's not really of concern to me. Plenty of people spend their whole lives worrying about how they will support there familys, and end up homeless anyway. If you can see so definitely in the future, then maybe you ought to pursue a career in fortune-telling! hahaha just kidding.....but seriously.
there are hundreds of different ways to "pursue an education", and the 'normal' Way is not the only way.
Also, your posts were not without error,and although I am not Christian, I think the phrase: "May he among us without sin be the first to condemn," quite appropriate.
Actually, I never left school. I've never gone to school. I'm very well educated in the way of the school system however, because I have this debate with people a lot. I'm sure if you could talk to me in real life you would find me much more eloquent than I come across on the computer. And for that, I sincerely apologize.
My mother made the decision to unschool me when I was young, because she didn't want me to be a part of the mainstream. she didn't want me to be subjected to what most other children my age are subjected to. And for that, I thank her daily. I would be happy to answer any more questions you have about my lifestyle, but I would be even happier to answer them if you were a little more polite about it. :-)
To each their own! And to me, mine!
