This is truancy, an ilegal and intentional absence from education. In our society, it is more common to see this in popular neighborhoods, where there is a higher percentage of parents who do not care about their children (how they are going in school with their grades, behavior, etc). And of course, it also happen in wealhy neighborhoods, but in lower percentage. 

Some people think that this is a reason of the delay in the advancement of society, because our youth are not interested in learning and then they will be "nobody in the future". 

In Ecuador, it is sancionated with temporary suspension of class attendence for fifteen (15) days maximum, where the student must perform some school - led activity, supervised by their legal representative. Also in anglophone countries we can see that other measure to avoid it is the imposition of fines for parents and if in specific cases the fine can be for the young.

These are intrinsic problems that need social psychological help, in order to reduce them.It is so difficult to certain the different facts, because however the truants begin at the age of 13 or 14 years old. They don´t really care aboout nothing because they are envolved in their world.That´s why they ditch the school that according to (Urban Dictionary, 2006) is; "To leave school without permission and give up".

School issues:

• Stress - many young people feel under a lot of pressure with school work, exams and all the pressures of growing up, which includes physical change, mood swings and concerns about body image, relationships and identity.

• Bullying - bullying includes physical or verbal attacks or threats, either directly or through their mobile or the internet, social exclusion, sexist and racist abuse. If your child is being bullied, they will need your help to get it stopped.

• Health - if you have any concerns about your child's health, go with them to the doctor for a medical check-up, or the optician’s for an eye-test. Your child may be experiencing depression or other mental health problems so your doctor should be able to arrange medical and counselling help.

• Educational needs - it may be that your child is bored or disillusioned with school because his or her educational needs are not met adequately. Sometimes this can cause a child to act up and be disruptive.

Analysis: It is very important to emphasize that knowing the problems of your children is much more important than imposing a punishment. Because of this they can generate a greater resentment and the measures that supposedly are good will not have any validity
