Nevertheless, here in the USA, there are many frum girls who drive and behave like bnos yisroel and only use the car for chesed or errands and going to and from school and the like.
A girl who had a proper chinuch usually doesn’t get into trouble, and acts lshem shamayim. Too many rules often causes the opposite effect. In the USA we trust our kids and they usually live up to it.
In EY they usually never operate on the principle of trust, and think they have to legislate and forbid everything to make people behave. This includes concerts, etc. I have been to numerous concerts in the USA, and never recall any promiscuous behavior by frum people. People enjoy the music, families shmooze in the halls afterwards for a few minutes, and then everybody goes home.
There is a completely different attitude in EY where they think that every person is itching to go off the derech, and if we don’t hold them back, they will leave yiddishkeit in the blink of an eye.
