Several adolescents from disadvantaged backgrounds drop out of high school in a context of crisis. These adolescents leave school without a diploma when they are confronted with family difficulties (e.g., violence), legal issues (e.g., arrest), social difficulties (e.g., romantic breakup), or school-related problems (e.g., conflict with a teacher). The nature of these crises may differ depending on gender and environment (urban or rural).
