Today’s young adults have crossed into an age of rapid change…change that is faster
than for any previous generation. Access to knowledge is immediate and vast. Connections wait ready
at their fingertips. They bridge to a global community in an instant. But neither technology,
nor education, nor relationships, have delivered personal significance or a sense of belonging. Times have changed.
The last thing one would expect of young adults in a connected world, are feelings of disconnection
and isolation. They are desperate for someone to believe in them. They long for authentic love.
Those who study this unsettled generation tell us there are reasons they build barriers,
there are reasons they feel vulnerable. Chap: Kids are so desperate for an authentic
relationship without an agenda. This is the greatest day, in a sense, for parents to actually
step up and be parents.
