In many countries around the world young people decide to leave their parents’ home once they finish school. They start living on their own or sharing a home with friends. Is this a positive or a negative development? Give reasons for your answer and include relevant examples.

It's a natural behaviour for most species to spend their childhood and adolescence with their

parents

and when they mature enough,

then

they would leave them and live independently as young adults. Since humans are no exception, they

also

tend to leave to start living on their own.

However

, whether it is beneficial to take

this

action at an early age,

for instance

after graduation from school, has been debated. In my opinion,

although

it has certain negative effects, the advantages outweigh them. To commence with, let's consider self-efficacy which is of the utmost important skill anyone would need to be self-sustainable. One of the requirements to live independently is to be able to provide for yourself in order to cover the living costs

such

as accommodation and living expenses. In order to acquire

this

skill, one has to spend enough

time

working to gather both experience and enough savings to start a new life. Now if we take into account those who separate from their

parents

after graduation, we can observe that they are forced to spend their

time

more effectively so that they can provide for themselves.

Therefore

, even if they have lived with roommates, they are still far ahead of their peers that lived the same period

their

parents

'.

As a result

, they tend to have very high self-esteem which certainly would lead to successful careers. Another crucial skill is the ability to communicate effectively.

Although

people can learn

this

partly from schools, they tend to acquire it completely on a different level by spending so much

time

when they are living with strangers. Since they are used to interact with the same type of personalities at their home, who are likely to over-tolerate them, when they start living in a shared house it feels like a totally new world. They would have to learn to address problems and disputes in a manner to not insult.

Therefore

, after a certain amount of

time

, they tend to easily cooperate with almost anyone because they can now extend their knowledge and apply it in new environments.

This

perk would certainly allow them to diffuse a negative situation in most cases regarding either their professional or personal life. To summarize, even though living off of

parents

is a huge change with so many new responsibilities, the overall advantages are far more beneficial that enables us to live independently easier.
