I have probably been more than delicate in my life, so I wouldn't want to be too harsh on the kids. Van Gogh chopped off his ear because was feeling uncomfortable, Burroughs chopped off his little finger, Plath put her head in the oven. I don't think people are any more delicate today than in the past. It is just that more people are able to abuse you directly in the Internet utopia. If Van Gogh had the Internet he would have been limbless by 30.
