TL;DR: In a cross-sectional study of French-speaking adolescents between the ages of I I I years and I 8 years (M = 14.46 years; 279 girls and 268 boys) as mentioned in this paper, the authors found that body image, self-esteem, and negative stressful life events mediate the development of depression in adolescents.

TL;DR: In this article, a typology was developed based on the three main contexts associated with school dropout risk, namely, the personal, family and school contexts, which enabled the clustering results enabled us to categorize at-risk students into four subgroups: (1) the Anti-Social Covert behavior type, (2) the Uninterested in school type,(3) the School and Social Adjustment Difficulties type, and (4) the Depressive type).

TL;DR: In this article, a multidimensional study was conducted to identify personal, familial and schooling variables associated with students at risk of school dropout, including depression affect, low family cohesion and organisation, low student involvement, negative teacher attitudes, low performance in mathematics and French, and gender differences.

TL;DR: In this paper, the purpose of the study was to describe how dropouts navigate their educational journeys and explain how they ended their educational journey, while the end of the journey occurred as a result of a pivotal moment or a gradual fade out from the school context.

TL;DR: This article examined the relationship between adolescents' perceptions of home and school partnership practices and two student education outcomes: grades in French and time spent on homework, and found that involvement in learning activities at home, predicted both outcomes of general education students.
