Some of them still do. But for many young people, life is harder now. Jobs are d1. to find. There isn’t so much money around. Things are e2., and it’s hard to find a place to live in.

They get on well with their parents, and enjoy their family life. After all, if they don’t, they won’t be British, will they?
