Today in society we are surrounded by rules and guidelines which are put in place to prevent or minimise antisocial behaviour, some people may beleive that these guidelines are effective and others beg to differ. I would call myself a "law abiding citizen" but does this mean that i dont partake in activities that some social groups would class as "bad" well my answer is no, were all individuals we all hold different veiwpoints in terms of what is appropriate behaviour and unappropriate behaviour some of our veiws may be influenced by our religous or non religous backgrounds, the area we have grown up in, the family values we have adopted.
I was raised with values in terms of working hard at school, college, university and the end result maintaining a good repitable career, i was told smoking was bad, as were drugs, and that i shouldnt have sex untill i was 18 lol and how much of that mapped out, i started smoking age 15 this i beleive was to follow and impress my peers i didnt feel pressured i just wanted to be accepted and in time i began to enjoy it and it became a part of me, i didnt work particuarly hard at school, i wagged throughout year 10 and 11 although i was in all the top sets in yr 7 and 8 and an a grade student by yr 9 i was almost a different child by the end of school i managed to scrape through with 5 a-c gcse's and i started college on a btec in social care course which i left shortly after, then it was job after job for a while in seedy call centres and the odd retail job in the xmas holiday during this time i fell pregnant had a son whose now 4 and started university as a mature student age 25 last september so as you can see the route my parents had planned for me didnt materialise and i formed my own future by mended mistakes
