<human>: I noticed this more once I moved into a college town and got out of just my little farm town where i've always lived.

I'm not proposing a dooms day or trying to say that america has gone down hill or anything but all the friends i have made either 

a.) Have divorced/remarried/single parents

b.) Have parents who are contemplating a divorce

c.) Have various networks of step brothers, step sisters, etc.

d.) Have some type of mommy or daddy issues.

it just seems really odd to me, My parents had me while they were in high school, they got married and are still married 18 years later, I have one younger brother, Me and my brother both do well in school, i'm a freshman in college. and my brother is in his 10th grade year in high school. 

but just from what others are telling me about their families they all have moms that are agressive and had strict and stupid rules, or they had a dad that was not very understanding, or abusive. They all are telling me how their parents are made them get jobs, and this and that. It's just a big culture shock i guess because I always had a very good respect for my parents because i know that raising a child and taking care of themselves as well isn't easy, and i know that my parents know that going through school, and college and making my own life isn't easy. 

I don't know really but it seems like hardly anyone has a basic mom and dad and baby brother/sister situation. Everyone has some circumstance that they don't like about their family or some type of rebellious streak in them. 

don't get me wrong i have my rebellion as well but my parents know, they have told me before that if i want to smoke or drink that i have to be smart about it and keep it all in moderation.

Really just wanted to post to see if anyone else noticed anything like this or if i'm really just this oblivious to it.

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: ALMOST ALL MY NEW FRIENDS AT COLLEGE HAVE SOME TYPE OF FAMILY ISSUE... IS THAT NORMAL?
