Being a 16 yr old my self i know how hard it is to stay clean. All the movies all the music and whatever else u happen to find on the internet can really throw u off. If u dont have a geshmak for learning yet and the yeshiva wants u to be in bm for 3 hrs already and u have no interest u turn to movies and nonjewish music to waste ur time. Ive watched this happen to myself and to a bunch of my friends. As said in other posts the rebbeim dont know what to do. In my case my rebbi is a first yr out of kollel and has no clue how to deal with teens. The first thing yeshivos should do is get themselves some good rebbeim with knowledge with dealing with teens. Not someone who is related to the menahel or friends with the menahel and has no experience and uses us as his guinae pigs to see what works. All that does is help the kid slide further and further until hes totally off. Oh and hashkafa shuir or mishna berura whatever u want to call it when u ask them certain things they just wont give u an answer they tell u its not for now. That helps a lot. If u actually had the guts to ask the question and then ur turned down like that it guarantees that no more questions will be asked.
