However

is detrimental

as it makes the students academically poor which ultimately leads to a decline in their performances. Most

college

graduates are usually at their peak after graduating and it is paramount for them to pursue a tertiary

degree

immediately, so they will be productive an efficient when exposed to the job market. A study carried out in southern Nigeria, Edo state, revealed that the proportion of students with the best results in the STEM subjects were those who got s

use of harmful drugs and stealing amongst others.

This

is particularly common in the Western countries, because young high

school

graduates are being exposed to the internet and

also

peer pressure.Recently, it is noted that the increasing incidence of money laundering and cyber crimes is highest among secondary

school

graduates awaiting admission into the tertiary institution. In conclusion

an annual academic off, upon passing out of high

school

is seen by most people as ideal because it helps the students gain financial stability and experiences prior to the onset of a

. In spite of

as it enables poor academic performances and promotes the uproar of illicit activities in the nation.
