Some Facts About Failure To Launch Syndrome

By Diane Schmidt


Many young individuals today struggle to attain financial independence and end up living with their parents even as adults. This is referred to as failure to launch syndrome. It is on the rise in the current society because of tremendous changes in the manner in which parents bring up their children. In a bid to provide a better life for their offspring, parents ruin the lives of their children in the long run.

It is not surprising that most adults who suffer from this syndrome come from a very successful family background. Parents of victims of this syndrome compensate for their uneventful upbringing by making sure their children never lack. What they fail to realize is that some of these children lose the drive to soar to greater heights because they feel everything is available for them.

While the new-age children in well to do families may never know what it means to struggle for survival, parents should make it their responsibility to make their children realize that not everyone is born with a silver spoon in their mouth. They should make their children know about the struggles they had to go through to reach the point of success. This can be used as motivation to young adults to make them put an effort into launching their own successful mission in life.

Moreover, persons brought up in a successful home face the extreme pressure of having to keep up with the standards already set. Pressure may come from external forces or from within. While parents may not necessarily put pressure their children, the latter may just have the inner feeling to live up to the set standards on their own.

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.

The choice of friends is key in overcoming the inability to launch. Surrounding yourself with people who understand and support your dream is one of the ways to succeed. True friends should be able to point your shortcomings in a loving manner. On the other hand, wasting away in drinking sprees only works negatively for an individual in the long run.

With one bad decision after another, young persons end up becoming dependent on their parents all through their adult life. They end up moving from one career choice to another because of lack of resolve on what to do from the onset. Some may not bother to even look for a job or create something for themselves as long as they are being provided for.

In conclusion, inability to launch in life ails both the wealthy and the poor, male and female alike. The world over, it affects young individuals transitioning into adulthood. The most important thing is to assume a career of your own choosing and being patient in building yourself up.
