In school, there is a lot of pressure to conform the the "norm," but this discourages individuality.

En el colegio, hay mucha presión para ser conformista a la "norma," pero esto desanima la individualidad.

Romper las normas (Para almas muy atrevidas)

"Cuando una gran mayoría de personas han adoptado una forma de comportarse, han hecho de ello algo normal, "una norma". Cuando alguien no desea seguir estas normas las está rompiendo en cierta medida."

When a great majority of people have adopted a way of conducting themselves, they have created of that behavior, what is "normal," a standard. When someone doesn't want to follow these standards, they are breaking with the norm.**
