"Lighten up, Snowflake!"

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.

If the frozen water fits...
Only snowflakes could have mental health problems from being called snowflakes.

My humble prediction is that using the word “snowflake” in reference to a coworker will get one fired some time in the near future.
Lol...by whining about it they prove that it's eminently fair and much deserved.
I’m melting melting!!!
Dear Little Cupcakes,
Out of respect for your feelings I will never again refer to you as snowflakes.
You can only say what we say you can say. But we are not totalitarian fascists, those are the other guys.
Snowflakes can’t abide being called snowflakes because it upsets their delicate sensibilities. Do they not know how pathetic they are?
Political correctness is the threat to their mental health.
The next Jeff Foxworthy routine: well you might just be a snowflake if.......being called a snowflake causes you such anxiety that you visit a mental health professional, if.........
Say thank you to the government schools for this crap
I prefer
“You are pukes
You are the lowest form of life on earth
You’re not even human @@@@@@@ beings
You’re nothing but unorganized grabasstic pieces of amphibian @@@@!”

“That which doesn’t kill melt me, makes me stronger.”
Snowflakes confirm the accuracy of the label by whining about being called snowflakes...
