What society expects of me

Nowadays, the society expects a lot from teenagers. I am teenager. Around me is society. They expect a lot from me, it about my education, my future job, quality of my life, etc.
Sometimes, they expect me a lot until I have pressure. They are very serious about education. Around me the expectations are from teachers and my parents. When they expects me to do something, it will be the same story. For example; a teacher expects to me get high marks, in the same way my parents expect me to get high marks.
My parents expect me to learn in famous faculty in university, such as industrial engineering or study in the army academy. They want me to do a job that is good and have much income, such as ship driver, pilot, engineer. They make me practice to have discipline. They make me practice to help myself and people around me.
The school expects me to have a lot of knowledge and a lot of discipline. School must practice students be a good people.
Thai society expects a lot of me. They want teenagers to be good people and help this country.
In my opinion the expectations for me are good. The society expects good things. They hope me to follow the expectations. I agree with expectations for me. I hope it will make me successful in the future. Sometimes, the expectations is serious. Sometimes, it makes pressure for me, but I will follow the society's expectations.
Every parent and school has expectations for teenagers. They expect in the same way, this way is to make a good people in the future.

Hi, Ham. I am Pao. What you said that you should follow the expectations from the adults may be the right way to do. But in my opinion, we should do something we want to do too if it doesn’t hurt anyone. Doing something we want will make us happy and I think happiness is more important than the money from the job. However, we should think about our future too, not just doing something we want and not pay attention to education. I can’t say that money is not important but I think we should do something we want too, not just following adults’ words.
