The conflicts in the book directly relate to real life struggles. The biggest one is that growing up is hard. Holden battles with finding out who he really is and what he really wants to do with his life. This is a fight that almost every teenager has to go through. It is very rare for someone to know what they wanna do post -secondary, most kids have no idea. The theme of trying to find yourself is extremely evident in the novel, that is what Holden is doing through-out the whole book . This is a huge real life struggle that does not just affect adolescents, even people who have kids and have grown up still have no idea who they really are. Holden tries to find himself through getting drunk and running away from his problems.
Even though the novel was written over 50 years ago, this is still relevant in modern human interaction. People still hid from their problems and run away from them. People still try to solve these problems by "drinking them away". Holden does all of these things that really has never helped anyone. Things that Holden battles with a long time ago still haunt people in today's world.
