These days, children are breaking rules and are paying the consequences. The frightening outcome is that they’re becoming bullies. This is occurring in our schools, homes, and other public places.
Throughout the world, there are various opinions on rules and how they are used to govern society. Some individuals perceive rules as laws you abide by if you do not want to be punished or penalized. On the contrary, some believe that rules are meant to be broken and are useless.
Study shows that kids who break rules are less likely to succeed in life. Laurelton.NYC spoke with a group of students from STEAM at the Linden SDA middle school about their views on rules. Joshua Bellevue believes that rules are necessary.
