I am taking Successful Strategies for Writing and our discussion she gave us several topics to write thesis statements about and I picked marriage and I wrote one statement which is the following but we have to write several statements and I don't know how word them or what else to write about.

Young people in the Middle Ages, who were considered young but responsible adults by the age of sixteen, had fewer social choices when compared to modern American teenagers. Unless they followed a religious calling, medieval teenagers had to contend with an arranged marriage and bearing children while living without what we would consider personal privacy or freedom.
