Summary of Peg Tyre's "Bringing Up Adultolescents"

In Peg Tyre's article "Bringing Up Adultolescents," the author infers that young adults right out of college need their parents to help support them financially. As case after case of evidence is brought up, Tyre explains that that this could possibly be a problem for the parents of these individuals because they might be spending money that should be going to their retirement funds. Also noted by Tyre is that the normal chain of events that lead from adolescence to childhood is becoming a less common thing to do. Tyre makes notice that today's youth "unlike their counterparts in the early '90s, adultolescents aren't demoralized slackers lining up for the bathroom with their longing-to-be-empty-nester parents." The present generation of young adults not only struggle with school debt, but also a hard job market. If someone can't find a job after college, what are they supposed to do? Despite these facts, Tyre chooses to make "the Mini-Me Generation" appear to be lazy and unmotivated.
