Pressure from the society

Why does society put limitations, boundaries, rules, and expectations in our lives?
When I was growing up, I was expected to go to school at the age of 3 it's not because I really enjoyed or loved but the society was determining my life
I finished my primary education and the society made me join high school, now being done and it's still expecting me to work and get married at a certain age, and without that, the society starts giving you the "when will you get married eye"
It's really frustrating, that's why you get people committing suicide because of the pressure, it's really sad and traumatizing.
What has society caused you to do and maybe you really never wanted to do if you had a choice?

Was that nursery school or were you advanced that you started school early? Do you have Junior High School there? I did make a choice after I got divorced not to remarry again.

I am sorry I do not know what 8-4-4 education system is? Thanks about the divorce. I just did not find the right person and no, I do not want to remarry. Being married can be a good thing if the two people are the right ones,.

I am sorry for the divorce part, hope you'll reconsider marrying again, I have lived life without marriage and it sucks, I think being married is a good thing (Just my thoughts)
we do have nursery school, we are using the 8-4-4 education system her.

We have made our life complected. So we spent years in school to learn how to get settled in the complex system.

I think it all depends on the kind of education that you get, most are taught how to survive in that complex world while others are taught how to live in the complex world.

Our parents and society try to teach us some values and how to think. It is up to us to learn and then do what we think and what we want.

Very true, but apart from being given the freedom, there are some things that they usually accept us to do

I have no problem with the society because I understand that what I am required to do is for my own good. If you were not forced to go to school then you might not even be able to log in to this site.
