So why

Am I now seeing novels about generation ships actually reaching their destinations? Do the authors not understand how generation ship stories are supposed to work?

OMG, I read Earthseed when I was in elementary. Years later I wonder if that book (or any other generation ship story?) would have made more sense if I'd hit puberty before reading it. I seem to remember in Earthseed at any rate the girl protagonist (???) and a boy character starting to act like complete idiots around each other, and for the life of me I couldn't figure out why.
