Okay, so I'm still on chapter 2. I guess I have a lot I want to say! So today I will discuss why Jael is a 23 year old child.
I've recently been hearing expressions such as "18 is the new 8" and "12 is the new 2". I'm not sure exactly why-perhaps it is the internet or the ever present fear mongering media, but whatever it is there is a scary trend of hampering the proper development of children by treating them younger than their age.
The problem is transitions are unavoidable. There has been a slew of recent articles in regards to children of helicopter parents overwhelming the mental health systems at even the nations top universities (or perhaps I should say especially at the nations top universities).
These young adults aren't even able to cope with the smallest of life challenges because any time a minor challenge shows up the parent steps in the way.
Let me give you an example:
A group of teachers were taking a group of teens on a trip. One of the teens was freaking out and all upset she had to ride the subway because she had an irrational fear of escalators not to mention being underground. One of the other teens asked her what she did when she went to their local mall which had escalators. She said her dad would drive her from one side of the mall to the other all so she could avoid an escalator! She tried to call her dad numerous times from the train to complain about the trip, only to find her phone didn't work underground! And I have to give the group leader props who told the teen who was being quite obnoxious and ridiculous she had to stick with the group and she was going to have to do thing such as ride on escalators if one was present.
But beyond this there are many young adults in their 20's who have parents who still treat them as if they are minors or even grade school aged kids. The only difference is in Elalfwons the law has been changed to enforce babying those 18-27 on others.
