28、But sharing the family home requires adjustments for all. There are the hassles over bathrooms, telephones and privacy. Some families, however, manage the delicate balancing act. But for others, it proves too difficult. Michelle Del Turco, 24, has been home three times-and left three times. “What I

29、considered a social drink, my dad considered an alcohol problem ,“ she explains. “ He never liked anyone I dated, so I either had to hide away or meet them at friends house. “ Just how long should adult children live with their parents before moving on? Most psychologists feel lengthy homecomings ar

30、e a mistake. Children, struggling to establish separate, identities, can end up with “ a sense of inadequacy, defeat and failure. “ And aging parents, who should be enjoying some financial and personal, freedom, find themselves stuck with responsibilities. Many agree that brief visits, however, can

39、 may know the facts relative to smoking cigarettes and health but may be pressured by friends into believing it is the socially accepted thing to do. A multitude of factors, both inherited and environmental, influence the development of health - related behaviors, and it is beyond the scope of this
