My main point here that no one understands is the ALL OF KLAL YISROEL ARE DIFFRENT. My biggest peeve is when people generalize, instead of saying “marryig at 17 can’t work” say “marrying at 17 can’t work for ME. Or for the people I hang around with”

– Not everyone beleives in college from the get go, as there are modern ideas

– Not every girl wants to make parnassah, I know many people that feel strongly it is the mens job and if they get something, they are workingto get out, something for a few hours that is easy and takes little time to learn

– Not everyone wants to live a life of a doctor or lawyer. If you husband is in kollel ALL day or working all day, and you are a DOCTOR who is going to watch the neshomas Hashem gave you? A babysitter you won’t trust to take care of your diamond ring but trsut to take care of your neshomos?!?

– Not everyone is on the same maturity level

– Spiritual leevel

– Not everyone needs a 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom house. Some will live in a2 bedroom with 10 kids, and that’s okay.

-Not eveyrone finds being single “fun”. Some people think it’s a waste of time. Some people don’t have the luxury or going out for finacial reasons, or maybe it just isn’t done, or people feel life was meant for something more than having an extra year to travel.

– Not everyone thinks marriage is friendship (the past few issues of AMI covered this topic, it ISNT friendship)

– Not everyone need to watch movies, know about movies, or have tons of romance in their lives. Reality check, boys aren’t romantic. Not for hours on end. God didn’t make them that way.

Please, all I’m saying is there are different, mentalities, people, worlds apart. So don’t judge. Don’t generalize. Ever
