Reply To: Why People Go Off The Derech

well…sometimes it could be because of emuna issues. sometimes its because a kid is having family issues. sometimes its because a kid hasnt been shown the beauty in mitzvos. sometimes its because a kid feels under too much pressure to excel. sometimes its becasue he feels no one cares. sometimes its because he just doesnt feel like it anymore…

in any case youre right about the path not being well lit, but thats more a result than a cause…i mean its obviously possible for someone to stop being frum because he doesnt feel it, but again there are so many other possibilities that i always resent when people try to pin one down as THE reason
