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 peoples 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.

How do pervious generations of younguns ever survive to adulthood?
Previous generations didnt have older generations calling them loser names with the help of establishment media on a wholesale level.
If they are saying stop. Then stop
These people have had to endure being raised by the most selfish imprudent generation, baby boomers, who murdered 54million innocent of their peers, threw them into day care at 6 months old where they couldnt expect a hug from their mother eight hours on end, then put into a stupid education system concocted by people who call them snowflakes, left them with 20 trillion deficit and inflicted them with obama a Muslim foreign raised interloper. 8 years of a presidency which almost destroyed the country and continues to try to do so
While raising people of this generation this apologetic baby boomer made sure they knew people of the greatest generation, nearing 100 years old, letting them know they were born at the right time, that God chose them for this time, same as he chooses the time for everyone else, and they are supposed to clean up the family-destructive, gender bending, abortion happy, America hating mess we idiotic baby boomers have left them with.
Theyre conservative, God reverent, sensible, wise 3.5+ gpa earning, elder-respecting ladies and gentlemen who owe tens of thousands in college tuition, dont know how theyre going to get married and raise a family, would not have chosen to be born to personally take on $250,000.00 taxes of debt to pay for us idiots who let their college tuition get raised by the steepest inflation rate of any entity by a group of communist academics, and never once was made fun of by any of our accepted friends or associates just for having been born at their appointed time.
As if they chose it.
Which they would not have.
Theyre sticking up for themselves against us pricks.
Think of that while contmplating twenty or thirty years from now, sitting in some Medicare-dependent nursing institution waiting for a visit from one of them, or waiting for one of them to give you your cardiac or pain medicine or a cup of water. Or a smile.
They might forget having been dumped in day care or having been called a name they didnt like.
Further...as much as I'd like to believe be the results, this is likely a bogus poll:
-the commissioning party was U.K. Insurer Avivia, which couched these results in terms of mental health, ie this is a self-serving study, likely designed to get the NIH to spend more on mental health to the benefit of Avivia.
-Avivia didn't conduct the survey. A firm called Censuswide has a fixed panel of poll respondents - sort of a pre-selected "random" sample (problematic elects in my view are in bold):
Our panel has over 69,000 UK members. The panel was originally recruited via sampling specialists and since has grown organically. Panelists can opt to answer all surveys - but will be filtered out if a survey is not relevant to them. Panelists are also invited to participate in surveys via a newsletter. All surveys are incentivised by a prize draw, which will vary in value depending on the survey length.
correction.....I would NOT generalize about the US on the basis of this “study.”
My white privilege trumps their snowflakiness.
Thanks for the update/correction. I confess I didn’t dig deep in the Avivia survey/study.
You’re welcome, my good Sir. My skeptical view of polls etc has spiked since the election and when I’ve dug in, I’ve found YUGE problms. Many of us have different skill sets, and if I can spare FReepers a good 2 min hate on a bogus survey while some other FRiend educates me on, say, the Franco-Prussian Alliance of 1821, then we are all bettered.
How can it damage their mental health? They are already damaged beyond repair.
Truth hurts.
Snowflakes need to dig a hole, climb into it... preferably in a ‘safe spot’... then suck their thumbs and hold their breaths until they turn blue...
If they’re not sure how to do all that they can look up ‘having a tantrum’...
It's adorable that the most nasty namecalling hypercritical bunch of ****s who ever walked the Earth believe that they have mental health. Thanks Sir Napsalot.
