He said don't always follow what others do and try o be your own leader. He said that conformity is good to a certain point and be careful not to cross the line between right and wrong. Some gos also very strict limiting what the students can do. I think that Welton Academy maintains the stability and smooth operation of society by being strict and hard on the students. One incident is Charlie Dayton's punishment for trying to permit girls at?.

             od examples in the film of how conformity can be positive or negative is when Charlie Dalton didn't want to walk outside with his class because he wanted to exercise his right of conformity. This was a positive event of conformity. One negative example is when Charlie wanted to permit girls a Welton and printed an article in the school newspaper. With that event he crossed the line between right and wrong and had to be punished to teach him of his wrongdoing.

             Adolescence is a unique stage in a person's life. The adolescence is caught between two worlds no longer a child and not yet an adult in the eyes of society. Adolescence can be defined as the period between the normal onset of puberty and the beginning of adulthood. Some of the characteristics of adolescence are undefined status, search for self, increased pressure, and problems of suicide. Undefined status means that being an adolescent people are confused on how to treat you. Some treat adolescents like adults while others treat them like children. Adult society seems to have conflicting attitudes toward adolescents. Another characteristic is increased pressure. Adolescents are faced with pressure from many sources such as school, friends, and parents. Parents for instance, generally make rules stating what time their adolescent children must be home, who they can see, and where they can go. Yet parents want their children to be sociable. Yet thus people are under pressure to strike the balance between parental wishes and peer pressure.
