IS IT BETTER TO LIVE ALONE OR WITH SOMEONE ELSE?

BY NATALIA ALMAGRO #BTO2D

Independence has always been a problem for young people. Some old teenagers are said not to want to leave their houses, and others are said not to be able to do it. In fact, there are some disadvantages if you want to leave home.

Here in Spain, independence is not one of the most important things when you become an adult because you can find a job and continue living at home, so you do not need to go for a new house.

In other countries, their parents want them to leave home. It is very difficult to live alone, and you have to get used to being alone and independent, too. Moreover, you have to try not to feel lonely. Currently, I know people that no sooner have they left home than they are missing home due to their mothers' at home, for example taking care of charges.

One of the most important things of deciding if you live alone or not is to find good flatmates. However, it is very difficult for young adults to find responsible ones. For example, if you find a responsible one, you will be able to share your charges.

As a conclusion, it is very difficult to decide if you live alone or with someone else since each one has their advantages and disadvantages. However, from my point of view, it is better to live with someone else because it is cheaper and more enjoyable than living alone.
