‘Parents feel under so much pressure for their children to succeed that many suffer from depression if they drop out of school’. A new research has found this. A third of parents experienced symptoms of anxiety, helplessness and severe stress if their children left school prematurely, the research found.



Children who leave school at any time before their A-levels could be seen to be exiting education too early. And this depends on their parents’ aspirations. If the parents feel their children have left school without enough qualifications to succeed in life, — around four in 10 parents experience anxiety, helplessness and depression, according to the Learning and Skills Council (LSC).
