Growing Up Is Hard

There are stages and phases in the growth process that mark a change in status in the life of each individual, which society believes to be of the essence. This is why such events are dramatized in the form of rites and become important group experiences. The most widespread rites are linked to the coming of age that every society, according to its parameters, identifies as being “adult”, and such rites are often connected to tests of strength or courage. As time passes such rites of passage have become rarer or at least rarefied; they no longer mark a true break in an individual’s existential path. There is an increasing amount of complicity and resemblance between parents and their children when it comes to clothing, behaviour, the sharing of new technologies. Owing to this continuity young people risk being less independent from adults.
