For a while now I've noticed people in their early 20's being treated like teens, with programmes like 'Barely legal drivers' and ' sun , sex and suspicious parents'
The news reports of young adults having 'immature brains' .generally being accepting and excusing of the irresponsible and hedonistic attitudes of some.

But is this right, young adults are having to stay at home longer due to the expense of branching out but is it right that they are effectively treated like children and absolved of responsibility like a child this way?

Is it mollycoddling, do you agree that parents and society as a whole are restricting young adults by not expecting them to function independently?

Do young adults like being defined in this way and resist the need to grow up and accept responsibility?


It seems so scary to me that even in their mid 20's some are seemingly so underprepared or unaccepting to be considered 'adult'.
Before we all become BB obsessed again what are the thoughts on this, it was inspired by the discussion on the predicted ages of housemates and the roles they adopt in the house when there are differing peer age groups.
