Millennials (I am part of this group) are so coddled throughout childhood and adolescence that when they reach adulthood and have actual problems to deal with, they don't even know how to deal with them. When every kid gets a trophy in everything they attempt until they are 22 years old, they don't learn that they will fail at many points in their life. When potentially life-changing failures happen, millennials shy away and don't rise to the occasion--they simply have not been given that opportunity in smaller doses during their childhood.
I think hope lies with the next generation. My little nephew was once in an event where everybody got a trophy. He threw it away and told me it doesn't mean anything if everybody wins. Losing sucks, but it makes winning much better when it happens.
