Young people are bound by a wide array of social and legal conventions,and it seems to me that these rules are excessive and inappropriate. Too many rules have hindered the young people.

If anyone needs convincing that the society has created too many rules for young people, here is the proof. Social conventions are the first things that impeded the development of the young. Certain standardized paths are set for the young people in my country and these linear paths define the success of young people. Take schooling, one of the mechanisms for young people to gain success, as an example. It follows a route like this: 12-year-time education to prepare you for college which prepares you for work and an approach to a decent job with a brief period of independence before settling down as an adult. Deviating from this is generally called “go astray” and causes tensions in family. Therefore, it sounds horrible for young people to drop out of schools or colleges. However, this is exactly what Steve Jobs did. He became successful without following the most accepted route to success. The problem is that, the rules known as social conventions, which were initially intended to help young people, end up being obstacles.

Legal conventions are the next. The laws governing the behavior of young people aren’t taking practical considerations into account. For example, in China, males must be at least 22 in order to get married and females must be at least 20 to do so. Some argue that it is unwise for males and females under these ages to get married. While in my opinion, the law makers haven’t got a comprehensive 。。。。。。。此处省略部分范文!

Young people today are bound by a myriad of social and legal conventions, and it seems to me that these rules are excessive and often ineffective. Young people are governed by too many rules.

First are social conventions. In my country, young people are expected to follow a fairly standardized and linear path on the road to adulthood. "Responsibility" is the operative word. Schooling follows a certain road: K-12 education to prepare you for college, college to prepare you for work, work to prepare you for a respectable career and a brief period of independence before settling down as an adult. Deviating from this is generally frowned upon. It sounds terribly irresponsible to drop out of college and go backpacking through India, for example, and for many young people, it probably is. Then again, this is exactly what Steve Jobs did, and nobody can argue with those results. The problem here is that, while we mean well in enforcing these rules, they're highly inflexible and box the creativity of youth at a critical stage in their development. Social conventions, which were originally intended to anchor young people, instead end up restricting their paths of development.

Second are legal conventions. The laws governing the behavior of young people aren't really commensurate with the physical and emotional realities of youth. For example, in my country, you must be 18 in order to buy cigarettes and 21 to buy alcohol, but for some reason you only have to be 17 to go to war. This means that those too young to be trusted with the responsibility of vices like smoking and drinking might still be old enough to experience the trauma of military combat. Vices like smoking and drinking are irresponsible uses of time, because they tend to derail you from the life trajectory
