  These comments that I found on line from people who read about emerging adulthood and have found reassurance of the ambiguous nature of this space acknowledges to us just how important this brief is and how we are onto a key issue.

  This definatley describes the situation. My parents won't let me out but I hope to go to university out of the province in September. When I took a semester off school, and was looking for school one of the stores I was thinking of applying to I noticed a older women at the desk (a store I thought of being for young people). At my first job I'd rather be with other young people. Currently, I'm in college and don't have any friends, which I hope will change when I go to the university. One of the things, I wouldn't like is to be alone but its understandable that this group is 2nd after the seniors.

• Great article! Really puts my situation into perspective. Moved out of my parents house, have had about 5 different jobs in the last 3 years, and the question "why am I here?" keeps popping into my head. Looking forward to reading more of your articles..

  Wow! My wife became aware of this while attending a teaching seminar in Auburn, AL. She was fascinated since it so accurately depicted our son, and to some extent, our daughter. She passed this link on to me, and I found it a brief, down-to-earth explanation for the "theory". As I look around at all the younger people in our small hometown, I see it everywhere. This isn't the same generation my wife and I grew up in. We were expected to either go to college and get right on into a job, get married and start raising a family, go to work right after high school or go into the military. (We're in our late 50's).
