The End of Adolescence

Nancy Hill and Alexis Redding challenge the common perception that today's youth are uniquely stalled in their development, revealing that feelings of insecurity and questioning identity are universal across generations. By examining archival recordings from decades ago, they demonstrate that struggles with finding purpose and confidence are normal parts of growing up. The authors advocate for a more understanding perspective, emphasizing the importance of supporting young adults as they navigate delayed transitions to adulthood.
