    UJM: regardless of label- considering there all types of people with all types of problems- everyone has their own personal journey. In brooklyn we have all those. I agree it doesn’t, the point I’m trying to make is that everyone should have a place where they fit in and feel wanted. It seems to me like we make more of an effort when it comes to boys and are way worse at outreach when it comes to girls. Whatever a person is dealing with- it needs to be met with ahavas yisrael. Bais yaakov is not the place for someone with different needs because at the end of the day they want some form of a cookie cutter or another. It just doesn’t work for many people, yet for boys theres always an answer. Note how I never used the word OTD

    ujm: It may seem like that. Keyword seems. Girls within themselves judge far more and overthink. Our parents put more stress on us. It may not show on the outside because its not okay for us to project seeing tzniyus would be a limit and if a girl still cares she would not drop that. You cannot tell if a girls ruchniyus is sliding as easily because we don’t have to show up for minyan or night seder. But I assure you I and many others have struggled and will continue to within the bais yaakov system. Not everyone is cookie cutter the way we’re meant to be. And thats ok. Percentage wise it may or may not be less likely- but EVERY neshama counts whether it be one or one million. It is far more then one I see it with my own two eyes. Someone needs to bridge the divide and I would love to because I see a need for it and I’m extremely passionate about it but right now I’m too young.
    HaKatan: I’m talking tristate area… I know that there are a lot of schools but I think there are too many of the same option. I’ve met many people who fit in nowhere. I live within one of the largest jewish communities. There definitely are options but we could do better. Its considered an embarrassment to not fit in and need help. It needs change. Its far more okay for boys to struggle then for girls. Why?
