i totaly agree that it is a very big issue i dont know what the reason is most prob diff for every child but one of the reasons or major problems is the school system that u gotta be the type or not if ur not the type to sit and learn then u cant go to school cuz that pretty much all they do they dont offer anything hands on which kids/teens would like therefore kids drop out and what else is there to do but hang out and learn from the other kids how they conducyt thier lives and do the same and also there is this thing that if u talk to the opp gender u are considered off then kicked out of ur skool teenagers have this tavah and want to talk to the opp gender ever more when u tell them not to its a very hard yetzer hara to conquer and its a really big issue nowadays which skool dont help the students overcome because as soon as they do start to take of this issue it will get worse kids that are fune will start talking to the opp gender
schools really have to start dealing with these issues either by getting guidance counselor which kids can trust that their secrets will not be told to anyone bec each day there are more kids who go off its very sad!!!
