Stephanie is 21, from Merseyside, and was visiting her parents for the week of the referendum. “Right from the moment I got back I was bombarded with questions about which side I was on and why,” she said. “I’m not one to shy away from healthy debate, but my parents completely refused to see things from any point of view but their own, and would deliberately misunderstand my view or rubbish it completely. “After the leave result, my parents continued to insult and degrade the 48% of us [who voted remain">, with my dad at one point getting into an argument with a family friend who is an EU citizen and telling her she ‘should leave if she loves the EU so much’ … “What was supposed to be a nice week turned into a week of being belittled and endless arguments, and I have never felt so insulted by members of my own family before.”

Stephanie is far from being the only young person now seeing her family differently. “I’ve been having the most terrible rows with my mum about it, as I’m so heartbroken by the result,” says Alex. “Both my parents voted to leave despite me begging them not to. I tried to explain the effects it would have on my future, and my children’s future – but each time it would just end in the most awful arguments. Now, with the way things are, I feel like I can barely look at them. It sounds melodramatic, but I feel so betrayed by it all.”

“I’m worried Brexit has made me ageist,” a friend said, following the shock of the referendum result on Friday morning. “I saw this older couple in the street and just felt this sudden, enormous wave of fury towards them and their generation. It was almost physical.” Over the past few days, thousands have vented on social media. “I’m never giving up my seat on the train for an old person again,” read one tweet.

Social media had been awash with the African Brexiteers' pleas for the severing of ties with Europe, including WhatsApp circulars setting out the reasons … In comparison with the rest of the EU, Africans have long valued the opportunities available to them in the UK and the protection the law accords them … They have generally felt safer over the years in the UK than in the other 27 EU countries. In any case, their argument went, the expansion of the EU had drastically reduced the job chances of Africans from the Commonwealth and beyond.

The’s spectacularly-named Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett reports on young Brits who are not coping well with parental Brexit voting decisions:I once visited a lake in Palau filled with jellyfish that had been cut off many centuries ago from their natural predators. As a result, subsequent generations of jellyfish lost their ability to sting. You can pick up three or four of those globey suckers and juggle them, if you wish. Not a single toxic barb will strike. Modern millennial baby people – protected by political correctness, shielded by safe schools, guarded by the– are much like those inert Palau jellyfish. They have lost the ability to fight back in any precise or potent way, and are therefore easy marks for their battle-hardened parents. Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett continues:Itmelodramatic because itmelodramatic.Perhaps these youngsters aren’t just being ageist. They might also be racist. Film-maker and columnist Farai Sevenzo found more than a few Africans living in the UK who wanted to leave the EU:Over to you, privileged white lefty children. Tell African Brexiteers they’re racist and wrong. Argue with them, if you can.
