    - yeah, you said the other option was doing it on a whim. there is a choice C. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 08:49 12

        Many cases seems to imply the majority of these people settling down into 'adulthood' are doing it because of societal pressures. - Will Hunting Aug 21, 08:53 8

        It's not even always so much about caring what society would think (because really, society on the whole doesn't really care) - znufrii Aug 21, 09:12
