“…Your daily schadenfreude
today is a delicious mix of blissful ignorance and total obliviousness
demonstrated by young people who show no signs of growing into adults
anytime soon.
An
insurance company conducted a survey and found that 72% of 16- to
24-year-olds don’t like being referred to as “snowflakes.” But the
kicker from this survey is that 72% believe that being called a
“snowflake” damages their mental health.
Oh-My-Goodness.
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
quarter of young people who don’t care if they are referred to as a
“snowflake” and refuse to be mentally affected by the insult will almost
certainly be the leaders and rulers of that generation anyway. They’ve
probably already learned to stand on their own two feet and assert
their independence…” Snowflakes resent being referred to as ‘snowflakes’
