I work in social work and we've been saying for years that there's too much pressure on youngsters to 'grow up' too fast.
Much of that down to the fact that because of money pressure both parents are spending more time at work than enjoying the time they have with their children while they are actually children.
We've all got horror stories of things we've heard; seen or read about on this.
May also explain the malaise middle-aged folk feel having brought up their children and having somehow managed to steer them through all the teenage trauma only to see them move away because of affordable housing or jobs in different places once they reach adulthood.
