New study finds girls dropouts suffer more than boys
A Scripps Howard report by the National Association of State Boards of Education finds girls quit school as often as boys but face harsher consequences. Pregnancy and marriage drive about 40 percent of girl dropouts, while many leave due to low self esteem and less assertiveness. The report highlights poverty, race, and educational gaps, noting teen pregnancy links to low options and future prospects.
