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.

Oddly self-fulfilling label, isn’t it?
Then find yourself a shrink.
I was talking to my brother yesterday. He mentioned that kids today just have not face much adversity. They have everything handed to them. The benefits of living in a rich nation. Not like it was in the 30’s, 40’s, 50’s and so on. He may be on to something.
LOL
I’ve got it! Its a Mobius label.
Soon there will be a diagnostic code for the “snowflake syndrome”.
ROTFL! That’s why I love to use it. Nothing funnier than a loony snowflake in “skinny pants”.
I have a lot more names for them but those would really send them reeling.
Guess my generation was the last to embrace “sticks and stones my break my bones but names will never hurt me.”
But what if they throw a tantrum and say it's not fair? That's always how they've gotten what they've wanted so far.
You mean this isn’t from The Onion???
So stop being one, then. Well. That was easy. Anyone else have a problem I can help with.
Hey snowflakes, grow up. /useless hope
Mygosh....one title says it all. I know every generation has said this since Adam and Eve, but “what will they do when the older generations are gone?”
snowflake proving decisively that they are infact... SNOWFLAKES

“young adults in the UK were the most likely to have mental health issues; with 63 percent having suffered some type of condition”
Even by the standards of snowflakes, that’s a shockingly high percentage with mental health conditions.
By definition, snowflakes are so mentally compromised, that there isn't really any useful mental health remaining to be hurt...
Tough noogies.
