Two articles and social commentary on the fact that teenagers are growing up LATER than ever before in history. These articles make it clear what the results are I just wonder what the cause it. Certainly the fact that houses are more expensive and that a bachelor's degree is no longer enough is not the only cause of extended adolscence. I don't doubt the problem, don't hear what I'm not saying. I know it's a problem, seldom do I graduate students that are prepared and willing to leave home, and the fact is their parent's don't want them to leave either.

Is it a problem to be fixed or just a reality to be dealt with?
