I just read about something called "rejuveniles": "This curious modern hybrid, adult in physique yet deliberately madcap and childlike in tastes, habits and sometimes dependency, is also variously known as a 'kidult', a 'grup', a 'twixter' or an 'adultescent' in a culture half-mad with 'Peter-Pandemonium'."
This is, of course, in contrast with the days of 50 or more years ago when many people had little formal education and started work early; when women had a couple of kids by age 21; and children sometimes helped support their families.
Was it better when kids weren't children for long, since it instilled responsibility and character, or is it better now that many people never grow up, but seem to be having more fun?
