[QUOTE="Calithorne, post: 7717528, member: 6874058"] I have observed my children's generation, and it seems they don't want to grow up. I have two older daughters, and they are still unmarried and have no children, though they have live-in boyfriends. My son also seems stalled in life, he has a full-time job, but he is not making much progress in college. When I was 18, I knew exactly what I wanted to do and I did it. By the time I was 24, I was married, had a daughter, a full-time job, and was living on my own. I wanted to grow up and have grown-up responsibilities, and so did most others in my generation. One of my son's friends is 26, and he has no job, no girlfriend, he lives with his parents, and he is not even going to college. He seems typical for the younger generation. It has nothing to do with computer games, it has to do with an attitude of not caring about what's important in life. I think it might have something to do with the abandonment of traditional religion by so many, that was where young people were taught that it was a duty to grow up, get married, and have children. The younger generation just doesn't see any point in doing any of this. They seem content to remain in a kind of permanent semi-childhood. [/QUOTE]
