Last year's 'A' level compre was on Millennials.....read this to have some background of the attributes of millennials...

Often tagged as the 'strawberry generation', another terms used on them is the 'snowflake generation' which is quite apt becoz every snowflake is unique, which goes well with millennials' egoistic view of themselves as special...besides, snowflakes are beautiful but transient, and will vapourised into nothingness when exposed to heat, just like how strawberries are easily bruised...

Just type the words "millennials are so …" into the search engine and adjectives like "helpless", "arrogant", "entitled" and "rude" surface as suggestions.

Many of us didn't grow up in poverty and hardship, unlike our parents and grandparents, and we didn't have to sacrifice as much for our families.
Some of us may have grown accustomed to life's luxuries, without having had to work for them.
Their hardships may differ from those of earlier generations but that does not make them any less difficult to bear.

So to those who say that my generation are all snowflakes who were mollycoddled and made to believe we deserve special treatment, let me say that, first, that's a gross overstatement.
