Freedom Yes‚ the school has the right to regulate my freedom. School is a place to get an education‚ and prepare students for their future careers.

But too much freedom can easily backfire‚ leaving a teen floundering. Some of them start taking advantage of too much freedom. Although teenagers might be reluctant to admit it‚ they still need the stability that parental authority can offer. Some parents remain so busy with their work that they forget their responsibilities towards their children

It is very sad that many people choose to risk their lives‚ but they knew the risks and felt it was their duty and honor to fight on our behalf. So what is a veteran to

A Short Essay on Freedom What exactly is freedom? Can you taste it‚ see it‚ reach out and touch it? The answer to these questions is no.
