Are students snowflakes?? 7th Period Web Design Responds!
I’m not a fan of people being called snowflakes,
especially if it is intended in a negative way. It sounds like calling someone
fragile or weak.
I think teenagers – girls, at least – definitely experience the fear of being left out. If you’ve never had all of your closest friends, or so you thought, sit around and plan an event together with their shoulders turned away from you, then you may not realize that it kind of hurts. Fear of being left out not only happens on social media, but in real life as well.

I firmly agree with this article. I have seen a
transition from technology appeal to technology reliance in my childhood,
throughout the entire world. The capability to contact anyone at any time has
allowed parents and guardians to become extremely involved in the lives of
children, causing them to see flaws or problems and making them want to fix or
help them and then after seeing one, they want to see more. They have good
intentions but it is hurting their children in the long run, because their
children can’t live on their own. They don’t know how to do anything. They
don’t know how to decide things for themselves or be themselves. Although
anyone can say anything at any time with new technology, they are not face to
face, and therefore have more courage to say things they don’t mean, that are
hurtful, that are untrue. It is much easier to face a mistake or a wrongdoing
when you don’t directly see how it affects someone or yourself. I also feel as
though people need to start owning up to their mistakes and realizing what they
can and can’t do, have and haven’t done, have or don’t have. People need to be
realistic about themselves and start working on themselves instead of feeding
off of the lives of everyone else through a screen. Everyone needs to stop
getting offended by anything that is said. If someone is offended, they need to
keep it to themselves, work out their own problems, or talk to the person or
somebody else about it. There is no need to put their problems out on social
media, taking the risk of making the other person look bad, because they could
have misunderstood what they person meant. There is so much wrong with this
generation. They hurt themselves instead of healing themselves, they complain
instead of sucking it up. The reason for
these negative increases is because everyone is reporting it now because they
can’t fix their own problems and take it to the government and blame everyone.
This article is very truthful. There are many kids
that think that things should go their way, and think that if they don’t it
isn’t their fault. It would be better if parents were honest, and sometimes
brutally honest with their kids as my parents are with me. After basketball
games that I do not perform in sometimes my parents won’t tell me that I am bad
at sports, but will tell me that if I want to keep playing then I will have to
give more effort and work harder. I feel that I myself have not been raised as
a snowflake, but I know that there are kids all over that were, and that is not
right. Parents need to focus more on the future of their kids in the real world
than focus on if they are being mistreated as kids. Some kids do get mistreated
by peers, and sometimes by their authority figures as well, but that is just
life, and if you want to be successful in life you have to toughen up and work
through all the things that are happening.
