It varies so wildly. My niece and nephew are teens, and we are not terribly worried about one of them - but wildly worried about the other. The older just got 18, and is doing fine, probably able to make it well into independence. But the other has difficult PDA + significant amount adhd and... just ouch. Even learning the necessarily skills seems to be very hard then. And how can parents even trust such a teen, when negotiating doesn't really work, any money is used for anything else than it should be, etc...Yes, thank you, I am on to that. He is not a child anymore, he is 18. But I worry so much about him. Life is never going to be easy for him.
