Hooray for anecdotal evidence! I even agree with some of it, but there's sweet fuck all to back up any of it.

A highlight for the those of you that couldn't make it through the whole way:

"A generation ago, my college peers and I would buy a pint of ice cream and down a shot of peach schnapps (or two) to process a breakup. Now some college students feel suicidal after the breakup of a four-month relationship."

This shit is publishable?

Ok i din't read it all the way through so thanks for posting that. But SERIOUSLY?!?!? You know it wasn't our generation that wrote "romeo and juliet".... And i thought this was backwards now? I thought young people now care even far less for relationships and more for sex...
In past times, people were too tough for suicide, clearly.
I had no idea Sylvia Plath was a millennial.
