An article published by the University of Melbourne's youth research experts recently published in the magazine of "Liu Ye Dao Children and Youth Health" stating: "Now the adolescence of young people has been extended, and it may last until 24 years old."

Susan Sonye, ​​an expert in youth health research, said that compared with the previous generations, young people have been going to school for longer, and they will be married late, so the transition time from childhood to adulthood is longer. If adolescents last until 19 years old, it is obviously not enough. Soer noticed this situation for a long time. In 2010, she published an article in the New York Times, telling about what kind of changes will young people around 20 years old.

The definition of "adolescence" in traditional concepts usually refers to the process of physiological and psychological growth and development to adulthood. Generally, girls are from 10 to 18 years old, and boys are from 12 to 20 to 20. age. At this stage of growth, teenagers will experience physiological development and psychological development and transformation, including the emergence of "second sex" and other sexual development, physical development, cognitive ability development, personality development, social development, social development, social development, social development, social development, social development Wait. Each adolescent age and period of adolescence are different due to genetic, nutrition, and exercise factors, and sometimes there are great individual differences.

Researchers say that compared with the past, most young people are still in the predicament of "self -cognitive confusion", "self -centered" and "confused future" even if they grow to around 20 years old. Therefore, it is extended. The extended adolescence will inevitably bring a lot of trouble, such as may make young people look "immature", "more selfish" and so on.

This has become a problem that people must face in the new era. how to solve this problem? In the United States, it has passed the "Medical Act" proposal that people can still enjoy their parents' medical insurance before the age of 26. At the age of 16, they can get a driver's license, but they can only rent a car at the age of 25. Experts suggest that with the extension of "adolescence", all aspects of society should also respond more to young people with more tolerance and care.
