As for the claim that they never want to grow up, it's true that entering the full range of adult responsibilities comes later than it did before, in terms of completing education and entering marriage and parenthood. Although young adults are afraid of adulthood and in no hurry to get there, by the age of 30, most young adults have a marriage partner, at least a child, and a stable long - term job. So it's not true that they never grow up. Most of them just want to make use of their freedom while they have the chance. That's wise but we don't give them enough credit.

The origins of the many prejudices against today's emerging adults are complex. Maybe one key reasons that many of their elders still use old yardsticks to measure their progress. However, hopefully, peoples' attitudes and measuring yardsticks will change with the pace of society.
