Young people are sharing that it hurts their feelings when people call them “snowflakes” for not wanting to be around people who disagree or criticize them, and for creating “safe places” where only their ideas can be heard.
Not only do they say it hurts their feelings, they are also blaming other people calling them snowflakes for their mental health issues.
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.
What is interesting to note is that having “safe places” isn’t helping the “snowflake generation” reduce their stress levels, or making them happier.
Almost half of adults between 16 and 24 said they had experienced stress or anxiety, compared to just over a third of all UK adults.
Young adults were also more likely to be uncomfortable talking about a mental health problem, with one in three saying this compared to 27 per cent of all adults.
13 per cent also said they were experiencing a problem but had not sought help, compared to seven per cent of all adults.
And that is not to imply that the previous generations never struggled with their own share of snowflakes as well.
Remember back when John Boehner cried during an interview because people called him “spineless or a Squish”?
