Dissimilar to popular confidence, today’s kids or teenagers are not growing up too fast. According to a new study described that they’re growing up slower than they were used to be expected. The associate analyzed survey responses from 8.3 million adolescents around the ages group 13 to 19, from across the nation over the last 40 years (1976 to 2016). They found that today’s youths, compared to those in previous decades or so, are less likely to engage in adult activities, including drinking alcohol, dating, having sex, going out without their parents, driving a car, working a job and all other things which adult can do. Today, the researchers say, 18-year-olds act more like 14-year-olds from the previous decades. That was accurate crosswise all demographic groups in the study.
The new conclusion is reliable with other recent research, and they tell a complex story of teens today. “Some people have written that alcohol use and sexuality are down, so that must mean that teens are more virtuous than they used to be,” says lead author Jean Twenge, professor of psychology at San Diego State University. “Others wrote that they’re less likely to have jobs, so they must be lazy or immature.”
“If you look at the big picture, it’s not that they’re doing more good things or more bad things overall, It’s just that they’re less likely to do all kinds of things that adults do, and there is definitely a trade-off there. It might be the Internet fault”.
