Indeed. Although there may be factors unrelated to age in every generation. Early generations were supposedly more likely to be criminals due to lead in petrol. There also does seem to be summit going on at mo. among the young, high levels of depression and anxiety, self harm etc. Internet maybe?

I think it is because they are being made to grow up to quickly and maybe because they re exposed to all the ill's of the world a lot more than we were.

Wehn I was growing up you had the 6 o'clock and the ten o'clock news and it was mainly Uk based with a few major headlines from around the world.

Nowadays with 24/7 news feeds you hear about all the little social injustices along with the big issues - many things we would never have known about because there was just not the news coverage.

Maybe it is just that as a youngster growing up you felt the world was at your feet but nowadays it just seems like it is going to get worse and worse.

In addition they are sensitive snowflakes whose cloistered little world paid for by the bank of mum and dad is suddenly ripped away from them at the age of 21 and no one has taught them that actually life is a little bit sh!t

They don't go out, they live their lives alone on social media, they are frightened of everything. I'm afraid the human race (in the Western World anyway) is doomed.

Would also be interesting to compare if a similar survey had been done, say 40 years ago, with 3 generations, and maybe 40 years before that. How many times would the youngest generation be considered lazy and self obsessed and the older ones be seen as less adaptable?

So next time PG moans about "boomers", I can tell him "get stuffed - I'm generation X". What's the term for the generation following the millenials?

Snowflake of course, so busy getting offended they forget to do anything.

They are too lazy to come up with a name.

Nah, there's no way those hard working hippies would allow themselves to be tarred with that brush.

Interesting. Surely to some extent simple age plays a role though... Millenials are at most mid-30s and generally 20s, so don't have much managerial experience for instance. They'll grow into it.

Did you watch the "What's the problem with millenials" video that's doing the rounds at the moment?
