There are many conflicts in Romeo and Juliet, and almost every character experiences conflict at some point in the story. Juliet is conflicted at the beginning, because her mom thinks that she should already be in love. She then falls in love with the one person that she really shouldn't fall in love with, a Montague. Juliet's family completely disapproves of their relationship, but Juliet stays with Romeo anyways. She is conflicted by her family disagreeing with her, which also creates self conflict, because she is still trying to please them even though she knows she wants to be with Romeo.
These days, parents often do not agree with who their children date. Also, children still experience guilt for disobeying their parents. When I do something I know is wrong, I often feel bad about it. We as people like to try to please everyone, but often end up doing what is best for ourselves, because ultimately you can't please everyone and you are the one that has to live with your decisions.
