@Avram-in-MD Fair enough. Teens at risk isn’t a phenomena restricted to certain communities with certain hashkafas. However, although many teens become at risk because of personal problems, making it an issue in every community, different hashkafas have different things that put their teens at risk and have to put out different ways of helping them. In many MO communities, teens become too enamored with the dark sides of secular society so they have organizations like NCSY to steer them on the right path. In some communities, however, they close their ears and say “La la la can’t hear you learn more Torah!” instead of addressing the 800 pound gorilla.
