Poor parenting. The years of coddling; pruning them to think they are "princes" and "princesses" and relenting to their every desires without discerning what is necessary and practical. Teach a child how to get up when they fall instead of blaming gravity.
It's tragic that children have committed suicide.

We had suicides when I was growing up without social media. If they can't survive or learn how to deal with "bullying" how will they face the real challenges that life will throw at them? It's also embarrassing for adults to cry "bully". Grow up deal with it. No one is responsible for your own feelings but yourself. We react to stimuli and WE are responsible for it. No one "makes" anyone do anything without physical force or viable threats.

Snowflakes melt whether the sun shines or when it rains. Delicate. It's nature.

It doesn't matter. Most insulting terms were at one point normal terms. If we ban a word because it is offensive the next word to describe the same thing will later be used as a slur.

"Almost half of adults between 16 and 24 said they had experienced stress or anxiety"

Stress at 16?  Wait until they become "real" adults.

Shit.
If your trying to get into college, pay for college or have final exams in college, or are trying to enter the workforce and pay your own way, I sure hope you've had stress or anxiety.
Should be 100%.

The only people with no stress or anxiety are leeches and golden spooners. Maybe hoodlums and geniuses.

Just my opinion.

Fine. But that’s (at least likely) nothing compared to what they’ll face later life.

To the ones that care it is.
I think you missed my point.
I was saying "Shit" about the almost half part.
Should be closer to 100%.
That's without regard to the snowflake being called a snowflake.
Hope this generation doesn't think they deserve a life without stress or anxiety.
It's part of life.
 
What about snowflake safe zones...are they shittin' me.  >:(

A friend was telling me that in the military they have "safe" cards,  and if you can't handle getting yelled at by the drill instructor you throw your card,  and they can't tell at you for 3 minutes.
