Not indulging is not a “Yeshivish” value , it’s a Jewish value.

But unfortunately, when you have Jewish neighbors and community members who are steeped in these things and promoting these things, sometimes you need to give your kids a differentiation they can understand.

We might even discuss from an ethical and halachik standpoint, what if through risky behavior, one caused family members to have their accounts shut which has happened..
