Are You A Special Snowflake?

As if millennials needed another issue to deal with, right?

Are You A Special Snowflake?

Somewhere in between the two political earthquakes of 2016 (otherwise known as Brexit and Trump) evolved yet another nickname for us millennials: snowflakes – a cohort of fragile Generation Ys,mollycoddled by helicopter parenting, lacking in resilience and unable to handle the world.

With 86 per cent of millennials currently exhibiting signs of a quarter-life crisis, it’s not hard to spot a snowflake. We’re the ones with, on average, almost £3,000 of outstanding debt – and that’s before you consider mortgages (most of us won’t be able to afford one until we’re at least 30, by which time we’ll have spent £53,000 on rent) and student loans (which two-thirds of us will never be able to pay off).
