Time to eliminate dropout option

Since the dropout age of high school students is 17, more and more teenagers are taking advantage of this situation. Completing high school and earning their diploma should be mandatory in all high schools. If teenagers receive a high school diploma, then this keeps teens off the streets and away from crime. They are able to seek better future and jobs. After a student completes his or her four years of high school, they are more educated then the average dropout student. Mandatory graduation should be expanded, and enforced in all high schools.
