This comes back to the age-old issue, though: "Today's Youth" didn't spring up out of the ground like new potatoes. That only happens in Ireland. In the real world, each generation is raised by the last... and everything is a progression. Todays "Snowflakes" are a direct result of the expectations and entitlements of the post-war generations.
