Everyone (except @ujm and @kuvult) is correct. Chareidim in Eretz Yisroel have long recognized this as a problem. Not every teenager is equipped to learning eight hours a day. When they get frustrated at the extremely limited options they are given, they lash out and become rebels. If Yeshivos are so insistent on this Apikorsus of forbidding any classes that aren’t Gemara and Halacha, they should at least give the boys an option to take up a vocation. Be a car mechanic, carpenter, painter, artist! Kids need an outlet!
