Note, the author of the study said ".... the majority of adults agree that the term is unfair and unhelpful"

Accurate diagnosing and labeling is not permitted because it might hurt someone's feelings. These 'majority of adults' are probably the same ones telling the young that they are extra special fragile snowflakes in the first place.

This perpetuates the situation, not helping, the young people in snowflake generation.

As I noted when this was posted yesterday, first of all we are talking about the U.K., not the US. Therefore I would generalize about the US on the basis of this "study."

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.
