twentysomethings - a photo on Flickriver

twentysomethings

Been thinking about this a lot, especially as I don't really ascribe to the Gen Y thing. (Coupland's Gen X is dated, and they've shifted the demographic, so I think it's less relevant these days.) But what IS it about those who fail to launch? This was a very long article in the NY Times magazine, and it speaks volumes about the young people I teach. The chief theorist's involved in a clinical practice, which I don't really see the value of, but there are very good assertions about young people today, and why they 'fail to launch'.

Are we the same as our parents? Do the same rules apply? Can we expect to achieve what they achieved in such a short time, given they were so young? Does history have something to do with this? I have so many questions.
