well two things actually; the first being physical beauty e.g. thinness, hair/makeup etc. The second thing is sex. I guess the first is kind of wrapped up in the second. or the other way around? and not that beauty and sex aren't important but I think that the way we obsess about it isn't very productive. It objectifies women, and men too and places unreasonable expectations on young people.
aww, other people got all the ones i was gonna say! well, i'll mention this one: college education. i'm not saying anything against going to college, but for some people it's just not the right thing to do. but there's this huge stigma that you're not as smart or not as capable if you don't have that degree. i never would have gone to college if it wasn't the expected thing to do and my parents didn't force me.
