Do you think teenagers today should show more respect for adults?

Haha iam gussing you mean all adults and with that bold statment my bold answear is simply no lol. Teenagers should not give every single adult they meet the upmost respect, some of these so called "adults" dont deserve it xD. But in general everybodey should treat anyone with respect no matter what "title" they have, unless someone gives you a reason not to respect them ;).

Kids will learn and kids will regret. If they don't show respect ohh well we can't do anything for that. Kids have a mind of their owns. Let them abuse it and see how everything all comes down to.

Kids will run back.

In general, yes. There are some teenagers who show a good amount of respect, but the masses tend to behave immaturely and childish. They just need to get their act together and everyone would be a lot happier.

Oh they will learn, and if they dont then they will have a hard time doing anything socaily, which is just about everything xD. And if that dosnt bother them then they will have thier a** kicked one day, and trust me it does and will happen. No one likes a disrespectful person lol.

That's the point RP. They weren't borned with respect and and being mature. You can't force someone to change their own way if you cannot yourself change yours. And you cannot tell people how to live their life. When it all comes down to it. Just let them be. Let them learn from their mistakes if they cannot. You can't do anything to it.

I totally agree that teenagers must show respect to adults. Of course not all adults deserve to be respected but at least you don't need to show your dissrespect to them.

okay. If you say kids should give respect to the elders. Why are you saying some elders? Why not just say all even to asses and assholes?

Your point makes no sense. Because youre telling them who to respect and who to not respect. I mean comeon why not just say dont respect at all if you are not going to respect all the elders asses or assholes. Oh well. >.>

yes and no. I think teenagers should give more respect to adults. However I also think that teenagers rather give more respect to younger kids instead, because they can easily get along with their peers. While adults and teens fight all day everyday pretty much, like at my messed up school [ which is pretty much now resembling certain events of the holocaust ] the adults think theyre always right and whenever the teens get in trouble - heres something ironic!

In the student code of conduct it says "You have the right to tell your side of the story" while the Dean , the person thinking up the teen's punishment if they "fought/disrespected the adult" - Apparently - whenever the teen asks "Cant i tell my side of the story?" The deans all "No, adults are always right and always will be." SEE? I think it's ADULTS that need to give more respect to TEENS.

NOT the other way around.

IN order to get respect the kids must respect first. So what is the point in a adult give respect to some kida who doesnt even give respect back and only cause trouble. Respect doesnt grow on trees.

I think people should respect their elders. It doesn't mean you have to kiss up to your elders. It just means don't treat or talk to them like crud. If a kid disrespects an adult then it's the parent's fault because more than likely the said teen disrespects their own parents that way. It's teens like them that made adults give teens like me a hard time back then because they thought I was like "the rest" and deserved to be disrespected because of how old I am.

Not really. Respect doesn't come from a rank. Respect needs to be earned. If you can't earn the respect you want, do something to get yourself respected. Pulling rank doesn't work.

So do you disrespect those who haven't earned your respect then? I've never understood that theory. If you don't know someone and they haven't done anything "respectable" in your presence you bite their heads off?

No, they start out with 0 respect, and they go up and down from there. I have no reason to respect them at 0, at +8 I have a good reason to respect them, and at -8 I have a good reason not to. At 0 is something like... a table. You don't go around bowing to it and standing gazing at it in reverence(at least I hope you don't), but you don't go around kicking it and insulting it either.

I don't know but they should respect their parents in the first place. In my opinion, you're free to respect everyone you want to respect. :)
