Dropping out of school is an issue faced by teens today. Students use dropping out of school as a way to escape from their problems. One important cause is family problems. Teens face abusive parents they feel scare and have no support to go back to school. Family income also affects the students because they want to have flashy and expensive clothing to go to school. By no having this type of clothes they think they will look bad going with cheap clothes. Changes on the family environment also affects the student progression. If a parent dies, that will change drastically his progression. They would not be the same anymore and they will just want to be alone and been in their room all day. When the parents give more attention to the other child that affects the teen to drop out of school. Another result is some teachers teach too fast and with the teacher moving too fast causes failure on the grades and makes students to give up. Anything that causes an student to feel unsafe can make them drop out.

  1. Jorge, I love the picture. It's sad to say but you gave some good reasons that cause teens to drop out. Just make sure you go back and check the grammar on your sentences.
