Generation Y

The family life of generation Y is similar to generation X, due to the fact of divorce. Its also very different though because many fathers are becoming the main providers in single families, also there's the fact that more people are adopting and starting families at young ages now. Many people my age have divorced parents, including myself. My parents have been divorced since I was 2 years old. I use to live with my mother up until the middle of high school, now I live with my father. Fathers have changed there rolls in children's life, they try to spend more time with them and they even take leaves of absence when they children are born to bond as a family. Most parents that are single want to stay single now for the most of there child's youth. I think this is because it would confuse the younger children if new father figures are in and out of there lives.
There are more younger parents now too. I know while I was in high school there was at least 6 girls pregnant maybe even more. This has just recently began to change. When my 22year old cousin was in school she said that there was only 1 person in her school pregnant. Its becoming more accepted by young and old. Some parents are even adopting children in generation Y, this was very unusual in generation X. I know a few people who’s parents have adopted or they have placed there own child up for adoption. I think its a safe alternative if your unable to conceive or unable to care for your child. These are just some of the reasons the family has changed from generation X to now generation Y.
