They also cannot take stress well at all. The first time trouble starts they run for the hills. That's the most frustrating thing I am seeing these days.
This. I see this at work and any time I date a chick 30 or under. The problem is the sheltered, protected, helicopter parenting they received. They don't know how to navigate life, because they've only watched/read about it, and haven't actually lived it. The days of walking a mile to school in the snow at 10 years old, or biking through traffic to high school, or just being left to your own devices until sun down has been a thing of the past for 25+ years now. Dealing with the stress/challenge of simply being alone as a child/teenager and having to figure things out is an experience this generation totally missed out on. Getting "lost" as a kid, freaking out, and finding a pay phone to call someone is one of a million little stresses and anxieties millennials simply didn't have to deal with. You used to build shit with your hands, whether it was a tree house or fort-- now kids just play Ipad or buy a pre-fab one at Toys 'R Us. You wanted to learn about something? You took the bus down to the public library and researched it. Now you just Google. The result is these kids have a sense of entitlement because almost literally everything is available right at your fingertips via technology/money, and don't know how to do shit because they've never had to figure out something on their own.
