Dropping Out of High School

 

            Dropping out of high school can lead to serious consequences. Having a high school diploma is essential if you want a job or expect to go to college. So many people have been able to get by without having a high school diploma making students feel like there is no need to keep going to school every day, but unfortunately that's not the case. Of course, there are other reasons why students drop out of high school such as pregnancy, learning difficulties, violence, and having their mind focused on other things. Some causes for dropping out of school can be the following: lack of financial aid, demotivation, drugs/alcohol, personal life problems, mind focus on other things, and no mindset towards the future. Dropping out of high school has its cause and effect. One thing students fail to be aware of is the cause and effect this will have on their lives. Dropping out involves many life changes. The causes can be helped or overcome. In today's society, drugs play a big role in high school drop outs. Because nowadays is easy to have access to drugs, students tend consume these drugs to feel "cool"" or to escape out of reality, but sadly, drugs mislead students and makes them lose focus on their studies. Personal life problems also play a major role in today's drop outs. Some students go through major life changes such as the death of a loved one, homelessness, or having a baby. These circumstances discourage students to keep going to school. Another case that triggers students to drop out of school is having their mind in other things or not having a mindset towards the future. Sadly, teenagers nowadays prefer to settle down for low-wage job than pursue a career at a university. They think that working at McDonalds will be enough to pay their bills. .
             The effects of dropping out of school can be huge and life altering. These decisions can affect every aspect of your life. The difference in type of job you might receive is one major effect.
