School dropped-out students have attracted educators and policy makers. A number of studies have investigated factors and number of the dropped out students. However, albeit of these studies, dropped out students' voice was reported. Thus, this paper is aimed at portraying dropped out student' voice. Their reason for dropping out and their wishes were sought. Of 114 respondents, three respondents were voluntarily recruited for an interview. The findings revealed they unintentionally opted for dropping out but situation led them to do so. Online game addiction was realized as a means for skipping their school matters. Not only this narrative provides different perspective on seeing the dropped out students but it also endows with new insights for policy makers in treating risky dropped out students. Educational implication and for further required research are also sought and discussed.
