From the moment we are born, society begins to shape us. The culture we grow up in, the people around us, and the values we are taught all play a major role in forming our thoughts, behaviors, and beliefs.
Society influences how we speak, dress, and even what we consider right or wrong. Through family, education, religion, media, and peer pressure, we learn what is expected of us. These expectations can guide us positively—helping us become responsible, respectful, and cooperative. But sometimes, society also imposes unfair rules or stereotypes that limit individuality and freedom.
For example, society often defines how boys and girls should behave, what success should look like, or which careers are "respectable." These ideas can motivate some, but also discourage others from following their true passions. Social media is another powerful influence—shaping self-image, opinions, and even lifestyle choices.
While we can't avoid society’s influence, we can choose how much power it has over us. By thinking critically and staying true to our values, we can balance between fitting in and standing out.

"Society shapes us, but it is our choice whether we follow or question the mold."
