You could tell them that sometimes in FIRST / work / school / relationships / customers / bosses / employees / governments / (fill in the blank) that we have rules and restrictions and limitations that we don't necessarily agree with or understand, and that we have a choice in how we deal with those situations. And you can teach them that when we are in those situations, we can work to find solutions or we can complain.
You could tell them that you don't agree with the rules that have been put in, but that you are going to work within them. And then later you could write a letter to FIRST, explaining your concerns.
And you could read some of the recent posts on this forum and ask what types of Mentors and Role Models some of us are being to those students who are on here reading.
