Being called a "snowflake" is damaging to mental health, young people say. Figures show that the majority of young people think the term is unfair - and even more think it could have a negative effect of its own.
The "snowflake generation" is a disparaging term now commonly used to refer to young people, who are perceived to be over-sensitive and intolerant of disagreement.
But research by insurance firm Aviva found that 72 per cent of 16-24 year-olds think the term is unfairly applied, while 74 per cent think it could have a negative effect on young people's mental health.
The figures also show that young people are more likely to have experienced stress, anxiety and depression in the last year.
Almost half of adults between 16 and 24 said they had experienced stress or anxiety, compared to just over a third of all UK adults.
Young adults were also more likely to be uncomfortable talking about a mental health problem, with one in three saying this compared to 27 per cent of all adults.

I would like to call them something else but I would get banned.
Deal with it. And stop being such snowflakes.
TOUGH!!!!
Just go into your snowflake free zone and have a hot chocolate.
So snowflakes don’t like being called snowflakes and they’re acting like snowflakes to make us stop? Got it.
If being called a “snowflake” damages your “mental health”, well, it’s too late for you...it’s already a wreck.
We’re being nice to you, ya know...we could be calling you what you really are, like, “@$$hole”, or “dipshite”, or something worse.
Go home and cry to mommy...
Repeat after me:
“That which doesn’t kill me, makes me stronger.”
Snowflake! Nanny nanny boo-boo. Snowflake!!
I appreciate their sensitivities, but, gee whiz, I thought their safe spaces were in their parents’ basements.
My advice to snowflakes, quit being whiny, little soy-boys.
The pride that you take in you own weakness is disgusting.
You are only a snowflake if you think you are.
And thus are insulted.
Thanks, kiddo.
Now we know which ‘Button’ to keep pushing for a big reaction.
REALITY is bad for the mental health of these young weaklings.
Somewhere, a Helicopter Parent is hovering, anxiously waiting to swoop in and save the precious snowflake they created.
>>while 74 per cent think it could have a negative effect on young people’s mental health.
And this is why they are called snowflakes!
It’s only liberal millennials who are snowflakes. The conservative millennials i know are hard working kids.
Every snowflake is unique.
