Melting: Young People Say Calling Them ‘Snowflake’ Damages Their Mental Health
Breitbart Tech ^ | 12-6-2017 | Tom Ciccotta

Posted on 12/07/2017 3:57:59 AM PST by Sir Napsalot

A new survey reveals that young people believe being called a “snowflake” could be damaging to their mental health.

A new survey by insurance firm Aviva found that 72 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds believe the term “snowflake” is unfairly applied to millennials. 74 percent of respondents took it a step farther, arguing that they believe the use of the label could have a negative effect on young people’s mental health.

The study was born out of interest in the term “snowflake generation” which was originally used to describe young people who thought they were unique or special. .........

(snip)

Dr. Doug Wright argues that because young people are more likely to experience mental health issues than older generations, they are especially susceptible to damage as a result of usage of the “snowflake” label. ...... he said. “Any term used disparagingly to a segment of the population is inherently negative.”

Everytime I consider someone I consider to be a snow flake, I would just love to see them attempting to function in any of the draft era boot camps.

He was dazed but actually got up and tried to stumble home.
possibly to spare her the grief...
maybe the ankle wasn’t broken but his foot was sideways while trying to walk.
she kept up with him pleading him to stop, he seemed pretty out of it.
made it almost past the neighbors house when the officer showed up.

i give her credit, a lot of dingbat millenials would have just kept driving.

They are already mentally damaged, or we wouldn’t be calling them snowflakes.

Aww... Just more proof, as if we needed any, that they truly are snowflakes. It is a very appropriate term, and probably slightly less offensive than say pussies, wimps, coward, momma’s boy....

Wait. What? Are they saying a negative stereotype is a negative stereotype? Hard to believe. They actually got one right. Here’s the rub. A snowflake will always melt when the heat rises. See above #2, best advice: “Suck it up, buttercups”.

Damaging their mental health is a non issue considering they are already screaming crazy

They have absolutely no idea and are ill-prepared for the cold, hard life they’re faced with.

. . . but I’m sure it was perfectly reasonable to call us deplorables.

What really ripped their hides though, was that we were wearing it like a badge of honor!

If they didn't have damaged mental health already, they wouldn't be snowflakes in the first place.

My generation had moms and dads who raised us to respect our elders and others. Snowflakes are all about me me me ...

Sadly, when they wake up and see the debt our generation has left them, they will sh*t.
