I am glad you are interested in feedback on this complicated issue. Just a couple of thoughts:
1) I try to encourage students to verbalize their doubts with adults they can trust. We do that by not acting freaked out when a student expresses their doubts.
2) we talk about hard subjects sometimes so that we, as adults, can also express our doubts, too.
3) I know I haven’t heard it all, but it is normal for older students to have doubts. I think it is part of how we “own” our faith and stop leaning on our parents’ faith.

I hope your thoughts help others to admit their struggles!
