Just a "clickbait" article. This type of "journalism" has become the norm in the Fake News universe. It's designed to start "a conversation" (i.e.....to start a posting shytstorm) on social media that pits members of older generations against the younger ones.

I have a good friend in the print media, and he regretfully admits that his company puts these "articles" on their website to generate clicks and controversy -- if it makes it onto social media, then it's a win. If it goes viral on social media, then it's a home run for the news editors.

It's ALL Fake News these days!

I can see crying at work if you smash a body part. But crying because somebody makes you work too hard or getting bullied? Pathetic.

Nothing new there "clickbait", once called a headline.

 Same MO, does not negate the fact that there are some very dependent and weak people running around, now out of diapers.

Once upon a time parents instilled, independence, self reliance, motivating them to get on their own by 18.

Today we see weak, dependent, uncontrolled, over emotional adult children, needing to be told to come in out of the rain.

That is not social progress, it is regress, it really, really is pathetic .

And sadly, what you said is the single biggest cause of these young people feeling they have no other outlet but to go out and shoot into a crowd.  No one has ever taught them how do deal with adversity.  They've been pampered throughout the entirety of their formative years and then BOOM, no trophy for failing...........they can't handle that.
