Conform Quote by Devynald Morrison
“When trying to get a young-adult to conform; instead of fear, try telling them the importance a lesson is on becoming a real adult, (such as this) Ask them to Follow Codes and Rules Willingly, because later they'll be able to follow their own codes and rules to achieve plans and goals that they have set for themselves.”
