unfortunately, there is no way to prevent someone from having feelings of dissatisaction with judaism. the only thing a teacher/ rebbi can do is provide the resources for the child to get better. generally, what is causing the child to feel this way is a major trauma so if the kid has someone he knows wont judge him, someone that cares and wont make him feel dumb, he/ she will seek out the help and hopefully, with Hashems help, get back on track. im not male(BH!!!) but i really dont know how they survive yeshivah. i mean, my brother has learning disabilities- is he really supposed to sit and learn 24/7?! if he comes out of that with his self esteem intact, id be shocked. why dont yeshivos get that not all boys can sit and learn all the time? i understand that theres got to be some boys learning, but many are really not capable of doing that. if boys were created for the sole purpose of learning- why would there be so many guys with learning disabilities, adhd, whatever? Hashem wouldve created them capable of learning!
