You were living on the streets and running a gang by 18.
What kind of people do you hang out with martino?
Yeah there's no middle ground with martino. 95% of people I know don't live with their parents and not a single one has had an overdose, killed someone, filed for bankruptcy, etc. They are all doing well, though. What kind of people do you hang out with martino?
I feel like waygook.org user Mr. DeMartino could literally say something innocuous like, "Some birds can fly," and half the active users would start arguing with him over it.
1 who died of liver and kidney failure at 26 from alcohol. 2 who OD'd on fentanyl, one of them leaving behind a toddler.Glad you've never gotten that news.
well, i'm sorry to hear that, but i'm not sure you can put the cause of addiction on moving out of your mum's house
You don't think an immature mindset of "I don't want to live in an environment with rules!!!" contributed? You think if they stayed at home and focused on school instead of partying that would have happened? Fact is many a young person back home moves out simply so they can get laid and party. It's not about learning financial responsibility because if you were being financially responsible you'd realize you could save massive amounts of money by not paying food, rent, and utilities. "I moved out and took out a massive student loan to help pay for room and board and now I blame the rich for having to pay back that loan, but hey I learned responsibility and developed maturity."
Don't worry, L I says that cameras everywhere lower crime.
Face it. The fact is that if Koreans were the ones who culturally pushed their children towards independence and moving out, you'd be taking the opposite position and mocking stay at home westerner babies. Your default position on any issue is defend Korea's practices as the most sound and sensible. It's why no one takes you seriously.
And since in your argument here you are clearly acknowledging two different cultural practices, what does that mean for your oft repeated stance that things really aren't any different between here and the west? Kind of throws that out the window, doesn't it?
What different skills would those be?
As I said:When I say different, I think Korean young adults tend to be better at accepting wisdom, working in groups, accepting discipline, maintaining schedules, setting limits on irresponsible behavior, etc.Now this isn't everyone who lives at home- of course in both Korea and back home you have burnouts. But you also have people who lead drama free lives and transition well into adulthood and have successful careers and raise stable families. This idea that people who live at home are all sheltered pampered babies is nonsense. A lot of them are just low-key people who value saving a buck and don't need to go out and get wasted and aren't driven by raging hormones at the age of 18 but by academics and preparing for their future. And yes, they even manage to have relationships too and party some. Some of them even do stuff like start small businesses and so on. Many of them also aren't instantly turned off at having to deal with older people. Two big skills they learned are perhaps two of the most valuable (and they're closely related): Impulse control and delayed gratification. I used to think the same way about moving out and maturity. However reality and observation of outcomes has led me to conclude that at the very least there is minimal or no correlation and if anything, there might even be a correlation between staying at home and greater maturity (though with the caveat that this seems to decline with prosperity).
