Meet the Peter Pan generation: Grown men dubbed 'America's Lost Boys' forced to drop out of college and move back with their parents because of rising living costs
Photographer Liz Calvi, 23, noticed that a lot of the guys she went to high school with were returning to her hometown of West Hartford, Connecticut, after leaving college
From 1982 to 2007, U.S. college tuition and fees skyrocketed 439%
She decided to photograph the men as a photo essay, which she called 'Lost Boys'

It looks like the artist is trying to call attention to the hopelessness and despair caused by lack of access to educational opportunities and economic inequality. it makes me sad to see such young people already feeling shut out of success in life because of our unfair system.

(We need student loan forgiveness and free higher education in this country. They do it that was in the progressive European Union democracies.)

Does anyone besides I think the photos are provocative?

They're sort of languid. But it's more bleak and deflated than anything.

"I wanted to find a softness and vulnerability to these guys that I don't think is portrayed a lot," said photographer Liz Calvi

Perhaps the photographer is a homosexual.

Maybe if they had trans surgery they could find a nice husband who could provide?
