The mandatory age to drop out of high school is 18. After conducting many researches I strongly believe that this should remain the same. Although many students believe that they are not achieving anything from school and may feel it is a waste of time. Still not an excuse to drop out all dropping out do is make your life harder. At age 16 my aunty dropped out of high school and her life has been a living hell ever since.
It was very obvious that Holden was feeling lonely throughout the book and even with all the people around him, he just felt like nothing was worth living because the one thing he loved was gone. It hurt so badly that Holden considered the possibility of suicide, but even that made him even more depressed. As stated in the book “What I really felt like, though, was committing suicide. I felt like jumping out the window. I probably would’ve done it, too, if I’d been sure somebody’d cover me up as soon as I landed” (Salinger 104).
Since I have grown up in a suburban area, it was much easier for me to relate to the kids who grew up there. For instance, I was surprised to see the football players hiding their crying faces their loss. Last year, the school softball team made it to the state finals but lost. I can remember trying not to cry but I lost it as soon as I saw my parents. I started crying right in front of my parents, sister, and all of my friends and fans there but I didn’t care.
Chris tells Gordie, “Oh, it is. No one even asked me if I took the milk money that time.” He continued on to admit that he had taken the money and everyone knew it at the time, but that wasn’t the end of his story. He then told Gordie that he had felt bad about taking it, and tried to give the money back. However, the teacher he turned it to kept it for herself instead of returning it, earning Chris a three-day suspension from school. When Chris returned to school, he noticed that she was wearing a new skirt.
Dear Diary, I had the craziest day at school today. We went on a trip to some ancient Greek ruins. Even though Mr. Brunner was leading the trip it didn’t make anything better. On the way to the ruins (on the coach) Nancy Bobofit kept winding me up by throwing her rotten food at my best friend Grover. She knew I couldn’t do anything as I’m on probation, and apparently I’m on my last chance.

In my opinion, I don’t think that this law would be beneficial to anyone and it would not work out in the end. Document 2 is about an exotic danger who accused three Duke University lacrosse players of rape, sexual assault and kidnapping at a party. The three players were innocent but there’s not doubt that a lot of underage drinking was apparent that night which impaired the judgement of those 3 boys. “College and university presidents generally agree that binge and underage drinking are the single greatest problems facing their schools, in large part because of all the bad behavior— including rape — that results from excessive and acute drinking on campus”(2). In college, binge drinking is always a problem and the drinking age of 21 is considered a “joke”.
His depression seems to escalate throughout the novel. For example, many nights he has trouble sleeping, he also is quite the alcoholic and a heavy smoker, he doesn’t feed his body with the proper nutrients and he talks of committing suicide at various points in the novel. Holden feels he has been alienated his whole life and that after losing his brother Allie, there was really no place for him anywhere. Holden Caulfield is a complex character that is in need of some real therapy because the problems he faces are not those of a normal boy his age, but are more serious in that he’s really hurting himself and he is not nearly aware of these circumstances. Holden’s signs of depression are evident throughout the novel.
