Basic Principles On Failure To Launch Syndrome

By Diane Schmidt


Most young adults today strain to get financial stability on their own because they are so much used to getting help from their guardians from the time they are born. One may argue that parents have forgotten, or rather failed, to appreciate the good old way of raising up children to become independent. They would rather pamper their kids, predisposing them to failure to launch syndrome when mature and have to start a life of their own.

Ironically, the syndrome happens to be rampant among individuals who have been born in very stable backgrounds. However, when one looks further into how their parents were brought up, something totally different comes up. In most cases, parents who have grown under difficult circumstances tend to work harder to provide a better life for their children in future. They want their children to have the life they never had growing up.

On the other hand, children born in well of families neither know nor appreciate the struggles other people go through in order to put food on the table. They grow up in an environment where everything is done for them, from simple tasks such as making the bed in the morning to having rent paid for them if they live away from home. Being in such an environment makes it difficult for young people to spread their wings and explore new avenues on their own.

The pressure of young adult life somehow make it hard for them to settle down easily. These young people may be trying to meet expectations of their parents and society at large. As selfless as this may be, victims ultimately suffer for failing to consider what they really want for themselves. Parents and society aside, young people sometimes become too impatient with their set goals, expecting positive results in the spur of the moment. When this does not happen, they become disappointed and go two steps further from their goal.

The world is the sole contributor to this syndrome because of the intense pressures it subjects young adults to today. From your parents wanting you to to live up to their dreams to your peers bragging about how appealing their own professions are, the pressure becomes unbearable for many. It is this kind of pressure that drives individuals to chase dreams they do not own, hitting a wall in the process.

Hanging out with the wrong company does have a negative effect on individuals trying to establish themselves in life. While occasional drinking of alcohol may be acceptable, it can get out of hand when your drinking buddies cheer you on to drink even more. Engaging in drug abuse to drown your sorrows and keep your head sober during working times only makes things worse for an individual in the long run.

Dependency on parents is also the result of making poor decisions as a young adult. Such decisions could be in form of career choice, caving in to peer pressure and so forth. It is important, therefore, for young adults to have a firm resolve regarding what path they wish to take in life and spend time building this dream instead of wasting time to please another person.

The importance of making your own decisions career-wise cannot be overemphasized. This does not mean that one should totally disregard the counsel of elders. In fact, young individuals can invest in role models to guide them as they struggle to achieve something for themselves and their future generations.
