Abstract
A qualitative case study analysis of 14-19-year old dropouts and their relationships with the parents and peers is performed to determine differences in their functioning. Generalizations are made based on the decision tree generated by Quinlan’s algorithm. Based on it, a model of the variant modes of adolescent dropouts’ functioning is constructed. The results of the study show the mechanism and genesis of the different modes of functioning of adolescent dropouts in relationships with their parents and peers: from the rejection of the parents and attempts to find safety among the peers to efforts to improve the self-image by manipulating parents and peers and attempts to tackle problems. By explaining the genesis and mechanisms of adolescent dropouts’ functioning, the model helps understand why they decide to discontinue education and the potential role of their parents and/or peers in creating more effective support programmes.
