Who Needs Rules?
Rules, rules, rules. Sometimes it seems that there are rules everywhere and we're always being told what to do. Do you agree with the rules you have to obey? Or are there some you just don't like?
Rules might not sound like a lot of fun but without them life would be much harder. Rules help us to get on with other people and they set boundaries, helping us to respect each other's wishes. Imagine playing a game where everyone is playing to different rules. It would be crazy, and people would probably end up arguing as no one could agree on the right way to play the game. It would be impossible to say who had won! Agreeing to obey the same rules means that everyone can get on with the game.
You'll find rules in lots of different places such as football matches, in the classroom and at home with your family. All of these rules can help you to get on with each other and have a good time.
