Are we free to make our choices in life?

Are we free to make our own choices in our life? My answer is No Why?
Although our society can not limit our thoughts, it can limit our actions. So sometimes we have to do something we dont want to do. And if we always do something we want to do, we can not live in this society any more.
For example, here is a little boy. In his view, world is simple, just something he wants and something does not want. And he need not to be worried about how to make money. Because his parents will buy anything he want. He just need to play.
When he is old enough to go to school, he need to finish his homework. Then he need to make a choice, his homework or his game. As we know, playing game is a boys nature. But if he chooses playing game, then he will not have enough time to finish his homework and have a review.
After many years, this boy will be like us to choose which university he can study in. Then he need to think about which university he should apply, and whether his parents pay it or not.
We can think bigger, if he is old enough, he need to work to earn money for his family. If he does not want to go to work, he will be fired, and he can not earn money for his family any more.

From this example, we can know,we have a lot of choices in our life. And the importance is we can not always choose which is we want to do. Gradually, we have learned to choose which is we should do.

This is a gift from our society. But, Can our thoughts do nothing to us? My answer is still No

Our thoughts are free , it belongs to us. Nobody can control it. And society just can effect our actions, our actions depend on our thoughts.
It means our thoughts can decide what we will do, and society can tell us what we should do. Our thoughts can lead the way to us. It can make us to be not lost in our life.
