Hi dhanush-rj,

The transition from teenager to young adult is more traumatic than childhood to teenager. OK, so I am 45-ish. In the past decade my life hasn’t really changed all that much. But for 99% of young people they’ve gone from having someone take care of them and being told what to do… to figuring it out, living on their own, making a living, running a household, being in charge of their healthcare and taxes, etc., making their own decisions… and in some cases starting a family and taking someone else along for the ride. Tell me that isn’t traumatic for anyone!

When our parents and grandparents grew up it was simpler times and you could get by on less. There was less paperwork, and red tape. You went home at a reasonable hour, had plenty of downtime. Friends and family were around more.

I think we are all spoiled children deep down. I know I want to be one again!

Best,

Inky
