Teens Going To University

I fully understand when people say that they are scared or even unprepared to go off to post secondary school. Ever since the school board has taken out OAC, high school students are going into universities at 17-18 years old! COME ON! I'm 18 right now, and im not prepared to go off. But point being, if OAC was still here, students would be going when they are 19-20 years old. I personally think that right in that age area is when you really mature and start to get your life going, because the decisions you make from here on out reflect on what you do in the future. Studies have proven that OAC being gone, the drop out rate for first year students in post secondary has sky rocketed compaired to 10 years ago. It's not that were getting any dumber, or lazier, it is all the pressures we have to deal with. It's all competition to get anywhere in life as soon as you leave high school and I think that scares kids. People don't know or what to expect from the future. So I think we should ease up a little, and let kids move at their own pace. Also bring back OAC and we all notice a difference.
