“Home is a place where you grow up wanting to leave and where you grow old wanting to return.” John Ed Pearce There are many teenagers who 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 responsibilities; on the other hand, some parents abandon their children, because they (the parents) think they no longer have anything to offer their little ones. Much research has shown that the Millennial generation is more likely to live with their parents. According to Richard Fry, a 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 families traditionally believe that education is important for their children's future. Parents who did not acquire any knowledge or did not attend school when they were young tend to make sure that their children receive enough education to brighten their future, which is why most young adults live with their parents for receive an education without worrying about rent, food and all the necessary necessities. Students entering college aged 18 or older must mostly live with their parents. According to Richard Fry, a research associate with the Pew Research Center's Hispanic Trends Project, "among 18- to 24-year-olds, those enrolled in college were significantly more likely to live at home than those not in college college: 66% versus 50% .”(Fry) Basically young adults pushing or trying to gain knowledge/education live with their parents for...... half the paper ......and , because it is easy that they (millennials) do not have to worry about living expenses or it is tradition to live under your parents' roof. About 21.6 million teenagers live with their parents and about a third of these 21.6 million are college students. (Fry). Young adults living with their parents are on the rise in recent years, for financial, traditional/cultural, and educational reasons. Works Cited Works Cited Fry, Richard of parents."
