Dear Dr. Know,
Help! There are too many rules in my life! Every morning, I have to make my bed before breakfast. I have to hurry to school because I can’t be late for school. When I’m in school, I mustn’t use my phone in class either. And I have to wear the uniform.
After school, there are even more rules! I have to finish my homework first. I can only play basketball after I practice the piano. I can’t hang out with my friends on weekdays. I know some rules are important. But this is awful! What can I do?
Yours,
Alice

Dear Alice,
Yes, there are many rules in life! But they can help you to become a better person.
You mustn’t be late for class. That shows respect for your class and teacher. You can’t use your phone in class because you need to focus on learning. You have to wear a uniform because it builds school spirit.
You can also think about the things you can do! You can use your phone at home. You can relax after you finish your homework. And you can hang out with friends at weekends!
I know it’s hard, but rules can help to make the world better. Remember: No rules, no order!
Best,
Dr. Know
