High school dropout (Alan)


Why do you think kids/teens get out of school and not finish it? When people don’t finish what do you think happens to them and what are some effects for not finishing school? What can the country do to keep kids/teens from finishing school and getting a better future?

Many kids/teens dropout because they think they’re cool and think that just for getting a job instead of finishing school would get them a better future. Other students dropout out of school because they either get bullied or other things that they fear or hate. If your trying to get a job at a business you have a less chance of getting the job because of not finishing high school and not getting a high school diploma.  For example, author Lenora Crossley said, “ According to the U.S.  Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, reports from October 1998 show that 28.2 percent of employed youth found themselves to be unemployed within a year after they had dropped out of high school. This is what happens if you drop out and you want to go to work in a big business. The country wants everyone to have a good future and to live a happy life. Like lets say you want to work in any sort of job and a high school graduate wants to work there to then you are mostly not getting a job because they will probably want the teen that finished school and has some experience. If they accept without a high school diploma your lucky but the one with the diploma is going to get more money than the one the without a diploma. In text named “less pay by author Leona Crossley said,” statistics provided by the center state that people who graduated high school earn an average $143 more per week than those who chose not to graduate. In addition, college graduates make ion average $336 more weekly than those who only graduated high school. This is about $479 more per week than those who did not even graduate high school. That’s why everyone should graduate high and not dropout because it can get you a better future and a better pay for the future. Your friends will be jealous of you because you’re making more money than them and your help your family in need for stuff in the future.
