We used to be adults when we left home for college or a job. Then, college became an extension of our youth... Now, that&#x27;s not enough either. We need our jobs to be our next day care...<p>We&#x27;re growing up slower. It&#x27;s not a problem, so long as we&#x27;re equipped as a society for longer maturation cycles, longer lifetimes, etc. The real world always finds its way in.<p>Better to accept the new paradigm, call it what it is, and adapt accordingly, than to judge.<p>Anna&#x27;s story would make a great movie, btw.
