Disrespect in Kids!!
Are we raising a disrespectful generation?!?! I feel like today's generation of children are not taught respect. So many times my mom has said "In her day, you would never look at an adult and say Whatever, your pissing me off or when you are asked to do something they say I don't want to!" In her day, respect was demanded whether you were a parent, a teacher, or a peer you showed respect. Even being a young adult, whenever you hold a door for someone you never hear the words Thank you anymore. People just expect it!! I realized to show respected and respect people you get respected back!! Maybe our parents generation didn't have it all wrong!?!

Its true. People are a lot more disrespectful. You hear it all the time, but that's because its true. You yourself may not tend to be disrespectful but you know those that are. Have you ever had someone disrespect and tare into you when they couldn't find a flaw in your argument?
I think a big part of this is the punishment thing. well maybe its not a big part, but its one explanation. In "the good old days." there were spankings. if you cursed, your mom put soap in your mouth. at school you got the paddle. now if your bad in school, you get suspended, which is basically a day off. now if your bad at home, you get sent to your room, where youve got a game boy under your bed anyway, so no big deal. Disciplining children has become a lot more difficult because of society's views on the matter.
