Description
Summary:This study delved on the profile, reasons for dropping out, difficulties and insights of female adolescent dropouts. The respondents were 10 female adolescent high school dropouts residing in San Pablo City, Philippines. They were either high school juniors or seniors aged 16-19. A case study method was employed in this research and interviews conducted were aided by a self-made instrument, an interview guide that was translated to Filipino. The results revealed that there were numerous reasons why the participants leftschool before graduation such as financial issues, illness, peer pressure, teenage pregnancy and family-related problems. On the other hand, difficulties encountered by the dropouts included coping with the new lifestyle as a dropout and a teenage mother, finding a decent job and experiencing boredom. The author concluded that family, as well as peers had a great impact on the lives of the female adolescent dropouts. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
