Tim Challies has a great review of, The Death of the Grown-up, by Diane West. I have posted on this subject before. However, I agree so much with Challies' review, that I had to provide an excerpt of his review...as well as a link to it (click here). Here's a snippet...It is teenagers who are respected and teenagers who are envied. Adults now seek to recapture youth and to return to their teen years. They dress like teens, think like teens and increasingly act like teens. This intermediate period between childhood and adulthood, this recent development, is being continually extended. Some organizations today go so far as to suggest that adolescence continues until age thirty. Some go further and suggest thirty-four. Thus a thirty-three year old man or woman should not truly be considered an adult. Any other generation would laugh at the mere suggestion.
The whole review is spot on and well worth reading.
