The society wants us to go to school, college to be independent individuals by eventually becoming a slave of some corporate; staying up late partying is fine but going to bed on time is considered a loser attitude; everybody advocates that adults should eat healthy food but nobody is ready to fix it for us; and watching porn is normal but watching cartoons and enjoying them are considered juvenile.
