Tlik,
“Sometimes happens, but this is a real minority. Most kids that go OTD are running nowhere, looking for somewhere they feel accepted. They are on the escape. Talk to anyone who works with these kids. Yes, the OTD culture accepts them. But why are they running away from a life we know to be so rich with spirituality, moral value, and closeness to HKB”H? The answer to this question is as individual as facial appearance. כשם שאין פרצופיהם שונות. These kids are not attracted to leave the fold. They are running from it, and the “bad friends” welcome them. Those bad friends were once in the same situation”
Completely correct!! Prob about 95% go off as an escape. What makes it difficult is that most of these teens need serious physiology to come back and not dancing by the lake to drive them further away. If anyone read the Jewish novel “the will” the story is a classic example of why teens go off!!
