People reported that an Adulting Conference was held at Bullitt Central High School in Shepherdsville, late 2018 which included many programs of teaching some basic day to day activities to the teenagers, rather than just binge-watching web series. High school students from Kentucky learned the importance of being independent. They learned how to cook for themselves, pay their bills, change tires, change a tube light or a bulb, how to clean the house chimney, etc.

The director of the Bullitt Central High School, Family Resource & Youth Services Center, Christy Hardin in an interview expressed the need for adulating classes for teenagers. According to her it is a pressing issue and should be looked upon immediately. She got to know about this through social media when parents expressed their concern about their millennial children.

Parents wanted to have their kids some sort of classes or conference where they could choose whatever they wanted to learn and could not in their school. Not only will this help the parents but the children as well in their near future. One should be independent enough to take care of oneself. If one becomes independent in not only making decisions but in every other way too, then in helps the person financially and in other ways as well.

Adulting class will give the teenagers a chance to put some missing pieces in their lives. It is a huge relief to everyone. Since it was the very first time any sort of this thing was happening, thus Hardin with the help of community partners like the Center for Women and Families, KHEAA, the US Army, the Shepherdsville Police Department, and UPS, held an 11- day event for the teenagers.

Youth Services Centre held and Adulting Conference for the seniors, where they were able to choose 3 programs out of 11 available options. These workshops will help them gain more skills and knowledge regarding the chosen option in their future lives, once they leave Bullitt Central High School. The school shared the insights of the conference along with some pictures on Social Media at different handles.

Many similar adulting conferences are now popping up around the US. Millennial children sure lack the skills of everyday activities and the most important reason for it is that they live with their parents. In surveys conducted it was found that in 2015, 34 percent of Americans between 18 and 34 still lived with a parent compared to the 26 percent who lived at home in 2005.
