Years ago, a group of young girls I was mentoring were going to shiurim from a young Rabbi that was also mentoring these girls. When I found out they were texting each other I strongly suggested that they stop. I very firmly pointed out to these girls that it was inappropriate. That he was a young married man and that it was extremely disrespectful to his WIFE to do so, even if HE himself didn’t realize it. I then encouraged them to choose a different Rabbi that was older than he was because I felt he was too young and inexperienced and would wind up in conflict with his wife. I told the girls that although he had very good intentions that since he was so young, he should mentor boys and not girls.
