This study examined the contribution of mentor support to the following aspects of high-school dropouts’ lives: the personal (self-esteem, and the process of becoming less religious [BLR]), social (societal conditional positive and negative regard) and psychological (well-being and loneliness). The study, conducted among Ultraorthodox Jewish males, included 261 participants, aged 14 years to 21 years ( M = 17, SD = 1.17), who were at different stages in the dropout process. Findings indicated a significant difference in the contribution of mentor support. Among youths still in their yeshiva high schools, mentor support made only a minor contribution to the process of BLR; for youths in a program for dropouts, mentor support made a positive contribution to most aspects of their lives. However, among dropouts, mentor support contributed negatively to all aspects that were examined in the current study. Findings highlight the importance of further illuminating the role of mentor support and adapting it to youths’ needs.

The nation's high school seniors are using fewer drugs than any class since 1975, a report from the National Institute on Drug Abuse showed. Researchers said they were particularly encouraged by results showing a drop in cocaine use for the second year in a row, and the beginnings of a reversal in the soaring use of crack, an inexpensive, refined form of cocaine. However, the war against drugs is far from over, with more than half of all students using an illegal substance at least once before graduating, said Charles R. Schuster, NIDA director. Moreover, drug use remains at a very high level among high school dropouts, he said. The survey polled 16,300 high school seniors from 135 schools nationwide.

Normative data were collected on 197 disadvantaged high school dropouts on the dimension of internal-external control. Findings indicate that this group appears to be external but not markedly so, and a short-term intervention program designed to improve academic and vocational skills did not appear to affect locus of control of 33 subjects.
