“True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what’s right.”

What this quote is trying to say is that if you make the right choice you will be granted freedom. For example, if you go out and start doing drugs you may get caught. This will end up having a record, going to jail, or you stay under house arrest. If you do that, you won’t be able to go out anywhere except from your house to school and back. Why lose the chance in going out and having fun. You will be able to go out with your friends and eat, go to parties, have a good time. If you want to go out so you can do illegal things, then you won’t have the right to freedom anymore. You will be stuck at home bored. Your parents will be disappointed in you, they probably won’t talk to you for a while. Ask yourself this “Is the short term gain worth the long term pain?” Maybe for a little while you will feel good, but later on in life, you may think to yourself “Man I was an idiot for doing drugs. Now my own family is disappointed in me.” Do you really want to feel guilty knowing you can’t change what you did?
