Many family factors can predispose adolescents to risk classifying themselves in one of the three categories listed above that influence school dropout. Of course, students who drop out of high school generally come from families with a weaker educational support system, where there are low expectations regarding their children's education, a lack of supervision, and an uncaring parenting style (Strom & Boster , 2007). .Having expectations encourages people to stick to them. Adolescent students whose parents did not expect much from their academic performance were much more likely to drop out (Blondal & Adalbjarnardottir, 2009). Mutual, family-rooted expectations for an excellent education can provide sufficient supportive communication to prevent any predisposition to drop out. Strom and Boster (2007) demonstrated that “an increase in supportive communication between parents and students decreases academic stress for students and influences students' academic performance as well as school completion (p. 436).” Through interaction, a child can discover parents' attitudes towards the importance of education and its implications. By finding that education is paramount to their parents, students' approach to school can generate positive reinforcement due to the supportive communication provided in their home. Involving parents in supervising their children's homework and activities where the parent has a relationship with the teacher reduces the likelihood of the student dropping out (Blondal & Adalbjarnardottir, 2009). However, it is important to note that Blondal and Adalbjarnardottir (2009) also found some indication that parental involvement “decreased the likelihood of abandonment within an authoritative family… the focus of the paper… In addition to lost income and income, the social costs of abandonment are even greater. As documented by Rumbeger (1987), “high school dropouts are more likely to require a wide range of social services, including welfare, medical care, and unemployment benefits… they have poorer health, have lower rates of intergenerational mobility and lower rates of political participation.” (p.115).” These unfortunate people increasingly rely on the government and others to provide for their needs, thus losing the beauty of self-sufficiency. There are also other psychological implications of dropping out of school. First, when, unlike other groups, school dropouts were more likely to have used all forms of drugs and to indicate current moderate or heavy drug use (Beauvais et al., 1996). Additionally, a shocking 68% of state prison inmates have not earned a high school diploma.
