Can you please help me figure out a deeper meaning for "society will judge people and it will affect their future"

Question

for ex:
"sometimes the most valuable lessons are learned by breaking the rules"

Childhood is the time to break rules and learn valuable lessons because consequences are still innocent

Answer 1

To whom does "their" refer?

If you think it refers to "people," then there's one set of meanings.

But if you think it refers to "society," there's a whole slew of different possibilities.

What do you think?
