Actually, I disagree (at least a little) with this statement; Im 45, I was bullied mercilessly in school, and had an attempt at 18 because of it. I think Millennials are a bit misunderstood, as they seem whiny to some people my age, but I think its because they have more ways of being vocal thanks to social media, which didnt exist when we were young.
I will add that I thank you for bringing this topic up, as it led to a discussion on PTSD, which I thought only affected veterans and victims of severe abrupt trauma like a car crash or something. Now Im starting to think between the bullying i endured for 7 years, my narcissistic wife, and my ex-boss who also bullied me, I probably have PTSD and didnt realize it!
