Stress Mess: 3 In 5 Millennials Say Life More Stressful Now Than Ever Before - From slow WiFi to broken phone screens to zero "likes" on social media

www.studyfinds.org/survey-millennials-life-more-stressful-than-ever-before/


Those things that stress the millennials who were involved in this research sounds silly to many baby boomers and those in the Greatest Generation. However, I don't blame these young people for the way they feel. We parents and grandparents are responsible for not raising them with better coping skills; for not teaching them what's really important and what's "merely" an annoyance to handle a little further down the list of things to do.

I'm no longer willing to simply sit by silently while the boomers & greatest gen folks sneer at these millennials. I'm going to say to them exactly what I just wrote above. We need to step up and help our kids and grandkids find ways to deal with their stress. (I've been on a real "don't lay your baloney on me because I'll feed it back to you!" roll this week. ;) ... )


edited to add: Yesterday (Thursday) was a tough day. I had a woman who "knows everything" and who is the "center of her own universe" tell me 1) something is going to kill me, so it's stupid that I watch what I eat; and oh, btw, you have to eat at specific times of the day or you're wrong - and I was wrong to call 9:30 "breakfast" because "that's obviously brunch" :wacko ; and 2) yesterday too she was raging that Trump overrode Betsy DeVos when it came to reducing funding for Special Olympics - she's in favor of marginalizing that group so they're out of sight. . . . I have stopped discussing some things with her because of her personality. We're both conservatives so she surprised me yesterday but I stood my ground - I believe we need Special Olympics. I may be dropping her from my days soon.
