Education : Anxiety, And Depression

When it comes to high school dropout rates, there are many factors that need to be considered before attempting to suggest a reason, and a solution to the issue. One of the first

The purpose of this proposal is to let people know that high school dropouts is an issue in today’s society. At the present time, every year 1.2 million students drop out of high school. The average age that students dropout is between sixteen and twenty-four years. Students drop out because of either personal factors, family factors, and community factors or all of the above. Drop out students should be encouraged to finish high school because non-graduates fail to succeed in life.

Students who dropout of high school before the age of 18 put their well-being at risk later on in life. According to BMC Public Health’s study focusing on over 3146 dropout students ranging in age from 20-29, “Poor mental health was present in 24% of the participants.” This emphasizes the fact that if teenagers drop out of high school they hurt their health because they go into a depressive state easier than their classmates who graduate. As a result of the depression, they go unemployed. This continues into a lack of anything to do and stress of unpayable bills. Finally, the data suggests that students should not be allowed to dropout without a diploma because when these students go into an unhealthy mental state, they can lose connection with their family or lead to worse situations making it even worse. Also in the radio interview, Missy Remiss, an education

“Dropping out of school does not seem to happen overnight; it comes after a long term process of frustration and failure” (Balfanz par 2). According to the National Center for Education Statistics, The population studied students attending Baltimore schools and gathered research that indicates how low test scores and report card grades as early as the 1st grade are reliable sources of whether students would later drop out(Alexander, Entwisle and Kabbani par.6). Also having to go through grade retention as early as kindergarten is also connected to why the dropout rate has reached a dynamic level (Kaufman and Bradby par.6). Whoever decides to drops out has no type of support, encouragement, or ambition starting at such a young age.

High school dropout rate is a significant indicator of future success in life. For high school dropouts, it is harder to find jobs and earn as much money as their graduated peers. On the outside looking in, not being able to graduate is usually associated with school performance, socioeconomic status, parents’ education level and/or lack of motivation. Moreover, there are also underlying factors of race and gender and they both affect performance in high school immensely. In order to study dropout rates, focus should be put on the group of students at risk of dropping out.

Students who drop out of school usually do it over the frustration of not understanding what is going on in class or

In life there are many struggles that interfere with a students education. In the 1970s, the United States had the world’s highest high school graduation rate. Today, we are ranked number twenty-one which shows a decrease in students that graduate. Lowering the dropout rate can solve several economic and social problems. Dropping out of high school has become a controversial topic that will continue for ages to come. Students should be required to stay in school until the age of eighteen because those without a high school diploma have higher unemployment and lower job satisfaction, have lower earnings, and have a higher likelihood of ending up in jail or on public assistance

In recent times, there has been significant rise in high school dropout rates in United States of America. This issue has significant attention of academics and researchers and is known as "silent epidemic" as more and more American teenagers are dropping out from schools before graduation (Bridgeland, DeIulio& Morison, 200). Reports suggest that the high school dropout rates before graduation in minorities has reached 50 percent since last decade(Bridgeland, DeIulio& Morison, 202, Ferris & West, 69). The issue of dropout rates had been ignored for years and thus, in recent times, the graduation rate has decreased significantly at such an level that is has threaten the wellbeing and welfare of American society. The goal of this paper is to analyze the causes of high rates of high school dropouts in the lights of broad and diverse academic resources.

Did you know that 1.2 million high school students drop out of school every year just in the United States alone (11 Facts)? The decrease of high school graduation rates is a fairly important issue, and there are plenty of reasons to propose a change. According to the U.S. Department of Education, the current standard dropout rate of high school students is 7.4%. High school dropouts encounter way more difficulties and challenges than a high school graduate would. An average high school drop out lacks the basic education that one needs in order to be successful in life. They are more likely to face problems dealing with financial insecurity, communication skills, and of course, educational matters. With a high school diploma, one is more likely to get hired for a job, earn a higher income, and educate oneself even further. Some possible causes of high school students dropping out include stress, boredom, family problems, pregnancies, and drugs. With that said, with every issue, there is always a solution. By taking the problem at hand and looking at it from a broad perspective, we can thoroughly identify the source of the high dropout rates of U.S. high school students. There are countless factors that may be the cause of this epidemic, but a few ideas including making learning more relevant, limiting the workload given to students, and providing mandatory classes on drugs and safe sex may possibly be a solution to this

School is a difficult thing that we all go through. As we progress through the school years, it becomes more and more difficult to handle. Waking up early every morning just to sit in a classroom for eight hours does not sit well with people. There are many individuals who are in school that reach their limit, the ones that are in college often question themselves about whether or not they have made the right decision to progress on to college. Those that are in high school do not feel like they can make it to their graduation day, this is where the idea of dropping out comes in. Students are often pressured to drop out of college or even high school because of the stress that they are receiving. Will I be judged for dropping out? What will my family think of me? How can I make it in society being a

People drop out of school for lots of reasons like for example they life is having a rough time like there father, or mother past away and it’s difficult to see other people in public while you are sad and have someone you love pass away. Another reason is some people do not like other people and that makes them not want to come to school and stay home and do homeschool. Most of all people do not come to school because they get make fun of or they get threatened and leave school for that. My friend Mike did not like school at all he came every single day because he loved his grandma and try to graduate just for her he tried everything even through the hard time when he got suspended, fought and he still came to school. So he passed all the till 10th grade then after that he could not take it anymore he was in class with little kids while he should be in his right grade every teacher was being hard on him so they kept failing him and he told his grandma “I am sorry grandma i cant take it nomore” and so he dropped out of school because he could not pass one grade to another but tried so hard. Why should people not drop out of school? People should not drop out of school for lots of important reasons such as ending up in a bad place like in the streets and being homeless or being in jail or dead. Dropping out of school effects your life like getting a job it will be so hard to get a job with no diploma you will either be lucky to get a job or cutting grass for people. Dropping out of school is not the best idea to do in the world because there is not that much choices. The things i learned will make me go tell my friends, brother and sisters to not drop out school i do not want to see you in a bad place and do not worry about anybody in school just think of them as an obstacle that you are trying to get passed so live a better life and set a goal for you in the future instead of being homeless and not getting

Many students who are at risk for dropping out have problems inside and outside of school, like homelessness, school supervision, early parenthood, or lack of academic confidence.

Since 2009, the United State college dropout rates increasing dramatically, and it passed a milestone that more adults who have dropped out of college than have dropped out of high school. In that year more than 28 million college dropouts and this number increasing year by year. There are several reasons that why so many people dropouts, such as the rising cost, too much academic stress and family issue. Each cause of the issue also has corresponding solutions that from individual and society.

Students are constantly being told what to do – go to school, complete your work, try your best, take this test, as well as many other commands. However, these constant demands are putting students under serious amounts of pressure. With all of the demands of education, many students are experiencing anxiety. According to Amiri, & Ghonsooly; Hernandez, Menchaca, & Huerta; & Jalongo, & Hirsh, anxiety is an unpleasant feeling such as dread, fear, hopelessness, or apprehension (2015; 2011; & 2010). These unpleasant behaviors should be enough encouragement for teachers to recognize that their students need more help than just academics. Anxiety should be a main concern for teachers, because anxiety disorders are the most harming and persistent psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents (Anticich, Barrett, Gillies, & Silverman, 2012; Grills et al., 2014; & Grills-Taquechel, Fetcher, Vaughn, & Stuebing, 2012). Even though it is known that students are anxiety prone, it is important to understand the cause in order to help eliminate the source.

Will negatively affect a student's future. Bob Keeshan once said,”Children don't drop out of High School when they are 16 they do so in the first grade and wait 10 years to make it official.” Throughout the years studies have shown that in a year 1.2 million students drop out. Which leads that only 25% of High School students during their freshman year fail to graduate. Dropouts in the United States have became a very trending thing we must get to the bottom of this problem. Young adults should not be making these decisions it's time to step in.
