Causes of Truancy

There are a variety of causes that contribute to the adolescent becoming truant, it can be due to personal problems or the environment that surrounds them.

Among the personal problems can be:

(CURIOSIDADES, 2016)

• Many students think that the school will not do them any good, and they start the study independently.

• Probably some feel bored of the educational system, or the few dynamic teachings that are offered.

(SIphotography, 2017)

• Some causes is the simple fact that they have a lesson, exposicion or presentation of tasks and were not prepared.

• Self-esteem issues as they seek to feel socially accepted, following fashions within their school environment.

• A principal factor may be the fact that they seek to be accepted in their circle of friends, feel that pressure not to "disappoint" them.

• Many students have problems with teachers, because some teachers tend to have preference in their students or be very rude when scolding for the lack of presentation of tasks or derivatives.

• They may be pressured by those "friends" to be truant.

• Bullying can also be a cause, adolescents are so afraid not only of beatings or insults, also of the influence of aggressors, treating them as "Soplon" or "coward".

(Eres Mamá, 2014)

• Maybe because they do not have a strict home education, they believe that they can do whatever they want, thinking "they will not punish me".

• We cannot exclude family problems, they can feel overwhelmed and want to be in an environment without pressure.

• Their parents themselves tell them that the studies are not worth it or even that they are not capable of being someone in life.
