Young People Say Calling Them a 'Snowflake' Damages 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 people’s mental health.

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. ...

"While young adults in particular appear to take offence to the 'snowflake' label, the majority of adults agree that the term is unfair and unhelpful, so it's important that people consider how such labels are used, and the cumulative effect they could have on their recipients," he finished.

How's that workin' for ya, SNOWFLAKES?

[righttackle44]

Snowflakes don’t like being called snowflakes.

[KJC1]

I thought “snowflake” meant any of these nuts who like to scream awful things at people, write articles about how we should all die, etc, and if you so much as make a peep they unravel. I guess I never thought of it as being exclusive to millennials, because it sure isn’t!

Okay, I’m sorry. I will stop calling you ‘Snow Flakes’

Grow a carapace you INSECTS!

[familyop]

Reminds me of the pretended, extreme sensitivity used so much in offices and schools during the ‘90s to have conservatives fired. Also used with environmentalism, animal worship and color preferences in homeowners’ associations and local regulations.

[Bellflower]

Ahhh, the poor, poor little snowflakes.

[foundedonpurpose]

You said “menacing”! They all just soiled themselves and ran away!!

[righttackle44]

The snowflakes are probably right. That doesn't mean they aren't snowflakes in purpose and practicality

Snowflakes may well be the generation that will live through and have to deal with the events of the Great Tribulation described in the Book of Revelation.

They think their mental health is bad NOW . . .

[SaveFerris]

Gosh that’s fun to see....

[FrankR]

They run around in puzzy hats, and giant vaginas around their necks, and think that WE are causing their “mental health” problems?

“Snowflake” is probably the most polite, kind, and sympathetic thing they’ll ever be called in the real world.

But wait! They’re all snuggled into their “safe places”, with their Play dough, and Figit spinners...nothing can harm them there, can it?

Maybe their “mommies” should take a trip down to the basement and tell them the old “sticks and stones” meme...they can have a good cry together, and then all should be well.

LMAO!!!

[TigersEye]

You gotta be one deranged Snowflake to make a claim like that! lol

I feel real sorry for Generation snowflake, they were groomed as fodder for the Islamic takeover. With the horrors of world War 2 in mind, these folks are in for a rude awakening.

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

Poor, widdle snowfwakes! ROFL

[TheNext]

Millennial snowflakes claim their feeble mental mind is offended, so that real men and real women will support their video game addiction in momma’s basement.

[Honorary Serb]

Well—if you don’t want to be called a snowflake, don’t be a snowflake!!!! Man up!!!! Woman up!!!! PHOOEY!!!!

[MoochPooch]

Then quit BEING a snowflake!

(I worry, as our society has devolved into a youth culture on steroids.)

[MoochPooch]

Give it 40 yrs., us old farts will be gone and China, Guam or St Kits can invade and conquer with success!

I can't imagine any of these snowflakes 40 years older (60 and beyond). Unfortunately a youth culture on steroids only abets not only enemy conquerors but the whole socialist program of having the government be your mommy & daddy.

I love, love, love that picture! It just gives me a thrill seeing those folks from the Javits Center on election night. Coming in close, but not too close, is watching Joy Behar so excited with Bryan Ross’s false report last week, then having to come on the air Monday to apologize (if you want to call what she said an “apology,” but more a ‘walking back.’)
