Explain the chief reasons why students drop out of high school.

Drugs I think are one of the main causes of high school drop outs. I personally no a few people who started doing drugs and along the road decided to drop out. Drugs cause laziness and grades begin to drop which leads eventually to dropping out. Many drop outs also have family problems. Some kids are neglected by parents or live in a broken home where the parents may not even know if their child is in school or not.
