For the most part, they have completed their education, many don't like the "meat market" singles wards, do not fit in the typical family wards, and they are under a lot of pressure to get married. Many decide that since they have not succeeded in finding their LDS mate, they begin to look elsewhere. Some like Sis. Thompson have managed to remain active despite being single and facing the emphasis our culture places on marriage, but, the wards' rolls are filled with YW that left the Church during the that time period. I believe we do a pretty good job with the youth, it is the 18-25 year olds where we are missing the mark.
