Many people make fun of the younger generation for being too easily shaken by things — or, if you’re really annoying, “triggered.” Of course, this isn’t *really* true, and while every generation will have its softies, there’s just not a lot of actual evidence to suggest that kids these days are more easily bothered than generations before them (and some evidence that suggests that Boomers are actually the easiest to offend. Who woulda thought!).

It turns out, in certain situations, it can be pretty difficult to shake the resolve of a young person — even when whatever is happening really should phase them. For example, this woman appears to have gotten into a car accident, and rather than call the police, she took the time to record a little video.

Woman totals a car. Takes a video inside before calling for help. This generation is different.
