I’ve heard that there are many guys in Lakewood who dont have satisfaction from their daily routine and want to leave and go to school or work, but their parents tell them to just wait a little longer until they find a Shidduch. I’ve heard that some of these guys get seriously depressed while they wait to find Ms. Right and go on meds.
If the RY-Talmid ratio was lower or if these Lakewood guys would get close to an adult role model, the RY’s or role models would probably pick up on their unhappiness and support the guy’s wanting to leave and guide them accordingly.
