CBS Local — Millennials have been labeled by many of their critics as a generation of “snowflakes.” The term has been used to slam society’s young adults and teens as hypersensitive and too easily offended. Now, millennials may have just given older adults even more to roll their eyes at after a new study found a majority of the “snowflakes” think the term is harmful to their mental health.
According to the study, published by British health insurer Aviva, a staggering 74 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds in the UK felt the snowflake label could have a negative impact on someone’s mental health. 72 percent of those surveyed felt the term was unfairly pinned on their age group.
The study also found that nearly 60 percent of adults in the UK admitted the term wasn’t helping young adults shake the stereotype that millennials are “soft.” A separate Aviva report added that young adults in the UK were the most likely to have mental health issues; with 63 percent having suffered some type of condition.
In the United States, the cultural divide between millennials and older Americans may be even greater. The stigma surrounding “Generation Snowflake” has pushed some companies to refine their interview process in hopes of filtering out over-sensitive youngsters. The Silent Partner Marketing firm made headlines in March after CEO Kyle Reyes created the “Snowflake Test” to help the his company and others sift through younger candidates.

Study validates the idea that snowflakes mentally ill.
Can't speak for everyone else, but it just makes me laugh.
It's the adult baby equivalent of "poo face!"
Well, it is, because they are hypersensitive and too easily offended. In short, they are 'snowflakes'.
Poor, sweet babies!
** sob **
The irony is REALLY going to leave a red mark!
OK, now they shall be called “mentally ill snowflakes”.
So.
I’m a “millenial”
The term “snowflake” doesn’t offend me, doesn’t make me fear for mental health. It doesn’t make me want to find a “safe space,” or hurt me in any way for that matter.
Why not?
Because I’m a g*ddamn snowflake, and I know it.
I work hard for my wages, take pride in my work, and don’t believe I’m entitled to the fruit of others’ labors.
Of course, if I were a snowflake, I’d probably be whining at DU right now...
This could all be fixed by putting boots to asses. There should be a law that if you bitch-slap someone when they are whining then it is justifiable as mental health therapy.
And that’s why they’re called snowflakes.
LONG before anyone hung the label SNOWFLAKES on these creeps, their mental health was totally fractured.
They will NOT survive the war they are pushing us into.
lol - it seems to be a self proving title.
Sounds like a confession to me.
Fer God’s sake man, someone get the gender confused, melting snowflakes a Participation Trophy before they suffer a complete meltdown
Awww poor snowflakes.
Hilarious Tracey Ullman skit on snowflakes.
