Who knew that a specific age group could create havoc. The millennials are without a doubt the most talked generation of the decade. If you are an avid reader just like us, you must have probably read - how lazy and incompetent the millennials are or even how to learn millennial lingo?

But, did you know that Millennials are the most stressed generation? We bet it only starts getting stressful for them by reading articles about how the entire generation is targeted all at once. While they dominate the world with their population, the other generations are responsible for their stress.

With raising a bar with the expectation levels to constantly bothering technological advances, millennials have become anti-social to an extent. Just look around yourself, your neighbours or your relatives, you will hardly find a millennial who is interested in socializing.

This is because millennials experience way more stress and are less able to manage it than any other generation. Every 20-something around you will be interested in doing what he/she likes. Because, with the advent of technology in their early years, these millennials have somehow become addicted to technology. But wait! If you are thinking to take away your kids' phone, it could be totally wrong.it is not entirely their fault that the technology advanced, is it? While this being ONE of the stressors, there are several other factors that are making them stressed.

Unlike any other generation, millennials are likely to say that their stress has increased in the past few years. One influencing factor is the current political climate. While this can be a great factor in millennials getting stressed, the impact of the political climate can also result in behavioural changes. While some of them take it positively, others resort to racism, bullying, etc.

Suppressed opinion is also one of the major cause of stress in millennials. A generation who has been brought up in the ever-changing times, old/orthodox view and opinions will not make them happy. It is imperative for the world to change their thought process with the changing world.

We understand that these are some problems that cannot be changed overnight. But that doesn’t mean that the world has to work the way it used to. But until then, the entire generation can binge watch their favourite show!
