Society expects me to follow the law and go to school.

“Follow the rules, follow the rules, follow the rules on Monday, follow the rules on Tuesday, follow the rules on Wednesday, follow the rules on Thursday, follow the rules on Friday, don’t do this, follow the rules on Saturday, follow the rules on Sunday. This is what society expects out of us. Go to school on Monday, go to school on Tuesday, go to school on Wednesday, go to school on Thursday, go to school on Friday, and get two days of break.”

This can make you feel manipulated. 9
