This piece is intended for the age group teens and above. So the age bracket would be 14 years of age and up.

This brings out theme which is to live your life and have control of your destiny. The response should be that the reader should laugh at the stereotypes illustrated, but should understand how society has shaped situations and predicaments like this to arise.
