Youngpeopleoftodayarelessdependentontheirparentsthanthoseinthepast

常理上，人们预想，随着社会的发展，年轻人会更独立自主。可不幸的是，当下的年轻人却越来越依赖父母。这虽是不幸，却是不争的事实。

Ithasbeenexpectedthatyoungpeoplewouldbelessdependentonparents.However,unfortunately,youngpeopleoftodayaremoredependentonparentsthanbefore.Itseemslikeacurse,butsadlyitisthetruth.

首先，年轻人在经济上更依赖父母。社会的车轮滚滚向前，人们的生活没有变好反而更糟。为了生活，人们必须付出更多。为了支付各种生活帐单，青年人感到筋疲力尽，甚至绝望。比如，在中国上海这样的大城市，人们至少需要花费50万美元才够买房买车，结婚生子。试想，有多少20出头的年轻人手头握有如此巨额的存款？对于大多数人而言，这是个天文数字。别无他法，他们只能选择做啃老族"。没有父母的帮助，几乎没有年轻人能在大城市里生活下去。而在过去，生活虽然简单，成本却很低。人们大概只需工作5年，便能住得起房子，过得上享受的生活。过去买房子，结婚和养孩子的成本也比现在低得多。

其次，年轻人在家庭生活上更加依赖父母。一方面，他们整天埋头工作，或沉迷于一些爱好，比如网络游戏，以至于忽视了自己的恋爱和婚姻等人生大事。家长们着急不堪，只能越俎代庖。这就是为什么，在中国通常参加相亲大会的都是父辈或祖辈。他们互相吹嘘着自己的孩子，渴望在婚姻中给孩子们提供巨大帮助。另一方面，大部分年轻人结婚生子后，并没有精力和耐心照看孩子。他们更愿意外出工作，或迫于生活外出打拼，以支付昂贵的生活开销。于是，父母们就自然而然地成为了保姆和仆人。要是没有父母的帮助，要么夫妻双方中任一方在家照看孩子，要么花钱请专业保姆，而后者的费用也不是一般家庭所能承受的。

综上所述，我必须重申，如今的年轻人比过去的年轻人更依赖于父母，经济上如此，生活中也如此。他们所面临的巨大生活压力使得他们不得不向父母求助。似乎，社会的发展应该给人们带来轻松和自在，但事实上并非如此。
