Young adults become 'distressed' by labels of entitlement and narcissism, suggests new academic research


Couldn’t imagine why they wouldn’t like being called that.

Especially by the “me” generation themselves.

Something all generations have in common.


In the 70's Obesity was rare. It started accelerating in the 80's with lifestyle changes, mainly occupations moving indoors and less manual labor.

Gen X which is really my generation was the first to start the upward trend.

Article is typical Boomer half truth clickbait. The study says that they “react negatively” to being called entitled. That’s not the same as being upset.

If someone told me I was entitled, I would tell them they could go frick themselves. That would be me reacting negatively. They would then get upset and go cry on Facebook about how young people these days have no respect for their elders.

I have no clue where you millennials get this kind of fake information.


I'm not a millennial but cool.

My mom was able to get a job during the summer and pay for her next year of college. Even when I was at LSU at the turn of the century it would've been difficult to do that, now it's impossible. To attend LSU now you either need to have money or take out loans which is ridiculous.

Go into your local grocery store and stop random old men and call them names like entitled, pussy, snowflake, etc. Let me know how that works out for you.

I agree that education costs have gone up a lot. It was much cheaper when I went but we also didn't have TOPS at that time.

Compare the facilities and amount of administration when your mom went to LSU to LSU today.

You'll have your answer why tuition has increased so much.

The sure sign of a true snowflake is whining on social media about snowflakes.
