“Home is a place where you grow up wanting to leave and where you grow old wanting to return.” John Ed Pearce Many teenagers live with their parents, even when they are old enough to make their own decisions. Parents want their teenagers to grow up and face their own responsibilities; on the other hand, some parents abandon their children because they (parents) think that they have nothing to offer their little ones once. Much research has shown that millennials are more likely to live with their parents. According to Richard Fry, senior research associate at the Pew Research Center's Hispanic Trends Project, “in 2012, 36 percent of the nation's young adults ages 18 to 31—the so-called millennial generation—lived in their parents' home. » (Fry). The millennial generation has started living with their parents, for economic, cultural and educational reasons. Most traditional families believe that education is important for their children's future. Parents who acquired no knowledge or did not attend school when they were young tend to ensure that their young children receive enough education to improve their future. This is why most young adults live with their parents to continue their education without worrying about rent. food and all necessary needs. Students enrolling in college aged 18 and over are mostly required to live with their parents. According to Richard Fry, senior research associate at the Pew Research Center's Hispanic Trends project, said: "Among 18- to 24-year-olds, those enrolled in college were significantly more likely than those who were not to live in the city. house – 66% versus 50%. . » (Fry) Basically, young adults who are pushing or trying to gain knowledge/education live with their parents during the middle of paper......e, because it is easy for them (the millennia) do not do it. You don't have to worry about living expenses or it is traditional to live under your parents' roof. About 21.6 million teenagers live with their parents, and about a third of those 21.6 million are students. (Fry). Young adults living with their parents have increased in recent years, for financial, traditional/cultural and educational reasons.
