Adult who behave like teenagers
The phenomenon of adults who reject their condition as such has increased in the last years. It looks as if adolescence is not a life’s stage anymore but a lifestyle choice. People from 35 to 60 years old behave like teenagers with unsatisfactory consequences for them and society.
First of all, this new type of adults try to look like teenagers as much as possible. Like youngsters, they lack long term projects. Their major concerns are their plans for next weekend. They do not want to settle down and tend to get involved into short or non-committed relationships. They speak tenagers' poor and rude jargon, and sort out their problems with violence. For instance, it is very common to here about mothers who want to be just like their teenaged daughters; they date men who half their age, go to the same clubs as their daughters and dress inapropiately.
