The reasons of college students drop out of school
    In current society, by getting a high diploma, people are capable of earning more opportunities of finding a good job in the future. Meanwhile, it is the best way that people can expand their social relationships because they can make friends in different fields at school. But these facts are true only for good students or average students. As for the excellent students, they get high gradesget out of and make lots of friends in the university. Furthermore, these students will get high diploma before they are hired by a Fortune 500 company. The averages of students only gets passing grades and still make friends. However, other students make failing grades, and have a hard time making friends. Compa
red with the other two types of students, these students are more likely to drop out of college. The reasons why students choose to leave school are the increase of college costs, bad grades, and teen pregnancy.
  The first reason of dropout is that students cannot pay the expensive tuition. In terms of the United States, it is the one of the highest cost of education in the world (Hau). Between 2012 and 2013, the common tuition cost in the United States ranged from $3,131 for community colleges to $29,056 for private college. The private colleges, in the United States, raised their tuition by an average of 3.9 percent (“College tuition”). Because of the rise of tuition, a multitude of students have high debt burdens, especially the students from low-income families. Under the pressure of expensive tuition, poor students will drop out of colleges. However, with the rise of inflation, these students have not enough money to pay the tuition even if they get financial aid. Many students are faced with the realization that they need to pay for college tuition has worth more than some people's annual salary. Due to rising inflation, the budget crisis and the increase in the annual number of reasons, some colleges and universities have become economic un
attainable. Although they have financial aid, some students still have the debt burden (“Students dropout rate”). These students will study at school while working after the classes have finished everyday. Because those students need to spend more time and energy than others, it is most probable for them to give up their study.
For example, an artist student is born in low-income family, and has the grift of art. Her dream is to be a famous artist so she selects the major of art in the university. Nevertheless, she finds that she does not have enough money to pay the tuition. In order to achieve her dream, she works in two different restaurants after school everyday, until she realizes that tuition and incidental fees are quite great and she cannot hold it. Finally, she has no choice but to drop out of school.
    Bad grades will cause students to drop out of college. Some students stay out in order to finish the homework or review the knowledge that they learned in classes. They want to get satisfactory grades in the end. A good example of it is international students. To study relatively academic knowledge, the international students go to another country, whi
ch has this well-known academic in the world. The expectation of family and proving personal value make international students bear lots of pressure. It necessitates that international students spend more time studying. The more expectation, the more disappointment. Their efforts may not get the corresponding return. Someone gets bad grade at some point. Consequently, they feel depressed and have no motivation to keep studying. When this situation happens again and again, the students have failed by huge pressure so that they drop out of school. A powerful blow makes them unable to get up after a fall.
    For instance, an international student’s parents wants to their child to study the knowledge of Business because they hope their child can use the relative information to develop their family corporation. Accordingly, the child goes to the United States and studies the Business in the University. With the purpose of achieve his parents’ requirement, the child sets up a specific plan of studying and comply with it all the time. However, to his surprise, his grade is very low. He cannot stop suspecting whether he can hold the family company in the future. Eventually, the child loses confidence and drops ou
t of school. 
    Teen pregnancy is a society problem, which attributes to students dropping out of college. Most people think the reason that students drop out of college is that students do not hard enough. But they ignore another reason which is teen pregnancy. Because of unwanted pregnancy and childbirth, many young women cannot finish their studies. Studies have reported that 61% of women who have children do not complete their degree at the Community College, less than 20% who gave birth to a child before the age of 18 teenage mothers get a college degree in 30 years (Olivia Marshall). During puberty, teenagers may have the interests in their opposite gender. The students who were born in the poor family may have the probability of pregnancy. In Italy, the birth rate of teen pregnancy only 3.3 per 1,000 in central regions. But Mezzogiorno where is a poor region is 10 per 1,000 （Unicef). The reason is that teen mothers come from poverty are less likely to graduate from high school, which cannot give their children the high family education. The low education makes these children not focus on the problem of teen pregnancy in the future. For example, a child lives in a poor family. Her mother is young b
ut she has 3 children. When her child goes to university, she did not give her suggestion about avoiding of pregnancy because she has the same experiences with it. She did not know what negative effect will affect her child. Until the child has the baby, she had to drop out of school and take care of her baby at home. Teen pregnancy is one of the reasons that students choose to drop out of college.
    To sum up, people go to school in order to gain knowledge. Going to study, students can make the common-like friends or enrich themselves. Some parents will go back to school and study the courses which relate to their work. A coin has two sides. Lots of people are willing to continue their studying and go to colleges. However, some students are thinking about drop out of schools. They all have their individual problems. The reasons which lead to these students making the decision to leave colleges include the expensive cost of tuition, bad grades and teen pregnancy.
