Students are disheartened because they don't believe they will live very long. In this context, external factors such as poverty, crime, and lack of resources are what affect people's ability to learn.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Ms. Gruwell's students live in an inhospitable environment, with few economic resources, high violence, crime, and social problems.
  • People in this environment end up getting involved with criminal gangs to survive but end up dying at a very young age.
  • This scenario discourages teenagers from the region to study, as they believe that the study will not be useful for them.
  • That's because they believe they will be forced to join criminal gangs and will die before the age of eighteen, with the majority of young people in the region.

In this case, we can say that violence, poverty, and criminality are external factors that impact society in a very imposing way, in addition to leaving young people with no prospects for the future.
