My answer:
Oh hell no, from a young age we are conditioned to believe we are free to do whatever we want and yet we are forced into education, forced to wear uniform, forced to obey a set of rules that conform us into obeying an authoratative figure without even questioning their warped views.
We are also tied down by our morales, beliefs, religion and family, that keep us in 'check', that keep us from doing what we really want to do, be who we really want to be. And even if we dare do something that is out of the socially acceptable norm, we are ridiculed, bullied and subjected to being abandoned by those you love. So even if we go ahead with what we want to do we are abadoned by those we love therefore we aint truly free.
There is also an unspoken moral code that is implemented into our brains from childhood that disallows freedom of expression or even to question why things are wrong, for example we are indirectly tought that homosexuality is wrong, that girls have to look a certain way and that men are suprior all from media alone and childrens programmes. Which causes humans to grow up ignorant, self loathing and powerless to the constant influences that they have been bombarded with.
Do you still believe we are free?
