But then again my reaction stems from the fact that I am looking at Millenials from the POV of a member of one of the most pessimistic and ironic generations that has ever roamed the earth\u2014Generation X\u2014so when I hear Millenials being so damaged by \u201ccyber-bullying\u201d that it becomes a gateway to suicide\u2014it\u2019s difficult for me to process. And even my boyfriend agrees that Generation Wuss is overly sensitive, especially when dealing with criticism. When Generation Wuss creates something they have so many outlets to display it that it often goes out into the world unfettered, unedited, posted everywhere, and because of this freedom a lot of the content displayed is rushed and kind of shitty and that\u2019s OK\u2014it\u2019s just the nature of the world now\u2014but when Millennials are criticized for this content they seem to collapse into a shame spiral and the person criticizing them is automatically labeled a hater, a contrarian, a troll.\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Very thought provoking piece. if you were born between 1982 and 2004, it\u2019s difficult not to see yourself in at least one of the traits the author outlines and that\u2019s okay. Like every generation that proceeds us, we are blamed for the future problems our world will experience but Im interested to see how the first millennial functions in the White House. Luckily, we have another 15-20 years before that happens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"via VanityFair: But then again my reaction stems from the fact that I am looking at Millenials from…\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"2016-08-31T00:29:49Z","apple_news_api_id":"02ab3f00-5355-437b-b012-200b6eeb93af","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2016-08-31T00:29:49Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/AAqs_AFNVQ3uwEiALbuuTrw","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4301","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-linked","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-17n","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":6299,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2016\/10\/18\/linked-how-to-inspire-a-new-generation-of-writers-through-blogging\/","url_meta":{"origin":4301,"position":0},"title":"Linked: “How to Inspire a New Generation of Writers Through Blogging”","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"October 18, 2016","format":false,"excerpt":"via KQED: However, because I also want my students to have ownership of their own blogs, I encourage them to write on topics that resonate with them personally.
