The term "forgotten" implies a lack of attention or resources, and option C accurately states that relatively few resources are directed toward learning about and assisting non-college-bound youth. Option A is a contributing factor but does not fully explain why they are referred to as "forgotten." Option B is a generalization about Western culture that is not specific to this issue. Option D may be true in some cases, but it is not the primary reason for the label of "forgotten."
