a couple of days ago 2 of my classmates were speaking together & i was really shocked when i heard what they said

A: you are going to the shopping mall today right?
B: no..
A: why?
B: you know my parents they are idiots ..i hate them they think that i am a kid who can't go out without them those*******

& when i tried to tell them that it is n't good to talk like that they said be cool... there is nothing wrong with making fun of them

and now it is becoming a trend with teenagers ..bec. as long as you say bad things about your parents you will be popular & cool

i remember that during one of the school festivals a boy slapped his mother across the face in front of everybody just bec. she told him to stop cursing in front of his little brother...after that all of his friends made a hero out of him!!!!!!

i totally believe that this kind of behavior is wrong ..but i just wanna know why do they do that?!!!

How horrible, he slapped his own mother? Where does that get fun? :(

It is most likely that they have no deeper understanding of why being awful to their parents is cool than that their peers think it is cool. They will be ashamed of that in time.

You spoke your mind to your peers, good for you :) *pats*

We can take comfort in the knowledge that they will eventually grow out of their teenaged ways :)

I agree all what you said,
but sometimes it could be the parent's mistake
just like when a boy sees his father hitting his mother
and when the mother doesn't respect her husband and the opposite
then it's ain't weird for their child for not respecting them.

PM: excuse me for my bad english ^^!

it has to do with mutual respect. if your parents yell at you most of the time, then youre probably going to yell back and so on. It's also cultural i think. when i firts came to america i heard a girl calling her mother a bitch. i was appalled. I would never call my mother a bitch. It's true that parents are unfair sometimes but they might have a reason to be. They are not doing it for the fun of it, they are trying to raise a child and that requires some level of discipline. I agree completely with the younger generations having a complete lack of respect towards their parents... it's as if the parents are scared to discipline their own children, especially in america. Neglect can go both ways, kids who neglect their parents will live their adult lives in regret.

There is a saying "Treat people the way you want to be treated." Parents do not understand that saying at all. They care about you and all, but sometimes they do things that they are not supposed to. When you point out to them that they are doing something wrong this makes them think you are a bad kid. As juando said mutual respect is necessary in every relationship. It does not matter if they are your parents.

I think that's you can both respect and disrespect your parents. How do you know if your friend was really telling the truth? I always say that, and to tell you the truth, it is THE truth. &&They're just asses. They get mad at me for no reason. No REASON I tell ya! I guess they don't trust me anymore??? I dunno :/

So sometimes they think they can help you, but they just make the problem worse. They want the "BEST" for us, but some parents just wants the BEST for them so they won't be humiliated. That's what I feel anyway.

Does our parents really deserve respect?
That obviously depends on what they're like, doesn't it?
No one deserves respect by default, they have to do something to earn it, and different people may have different criteria for what the requirements for respect are.

And of course, when it's about teenagers, there's always the rebellion aspect to take into account. In most cases, I would imagine it would be pretty hard for parents to gain the respect of their rebellious teenager brats.
But what's the problem really. Chances are they'll change for the better once they grow up a bit anyways.

Well... they're just rebelling for the sake of rebellion. There's nothing you can really do except grimace at the breath they're wasting complaining over trifling inconveniences like worried parents. Worried parents, might I add, though they're a pain, shouldn't fit under the criteria of being undeserving of one's respect.

Some parents really don't deserve any respect. My mother in law is a perfect example. (However my step-mom in law the sweetest ever. <3)

Some Almost all teenagers thing that they're right and that their parents are wrong, and they see their guidance as a nuisance. I feel bad for good parents whose kids turn completely wayward despite their best efforts. (I did this to my parents to a degree, if you count running away as a delinquent kinda thing to do :P)

What did he say in the asterisks. Asshole? Bastards?

You know what would really be surprising if the kid said he can't go out because he respects his parents wishes and has to stay home.

Those kids are cowards tell them to slap their mothers face in public in front of me.

Most teenagers from public high schools in America are like that. I hear that all the time but it doesn't influence me because I didn't spend my childhood in America. If I was a child, then I would absorb those acts and be a rebel when I grow up.

Parents deserve at the very least tolerance. Respect is something that is earned though. You shouldn't go around badmouthing your parents, but slapping your mother in public (or anywhere for that matter) is outright retarded, especially for what you said she did. But it does seem as time goes on in the US, kids get worse and worse. Wasn't alot of mature kids in high school myself, bullies (who sucked at their job).. girls who would scream rape if a guy got within 10 ft of her, ect. Good times.

When you grow up some you realize that all your 'rebellion', defiance and dissing your parents was quite moronic.
Provided they are normal, not abusive or idiotic parents of course.

Parents need to be harsher on the youth, or they end upm as that child. You don't hear of Chinese or South Korean children slapping their parents.

If they dont seriously abuse you, then yes parents should get respect by default. Do you know how much effort and time goes into raising a child for ten or fifteen years? It's no fucking picnic, they could have tossed you out on your ass at any point but they didnt.

Respect by default, unless they throw it away by mistreating or neglecting you.

Well, no, they couldn't, as that's rather illegal in most places.

Besides, no one asked for being born and raised, as that's quite impossible, so no reason to necessarily be thankful for it either.

Raising counts as earning it doesn't it? Parents don't get respect just for becoming parents, they have to raise you make sure your ok.

Parents deserve respect for raising you and making sacrifices for you, unless they seriously abuse you for no justifiable reason. Unfortunately, the average teenager thinks that not getting what they want warrants their poor treatment of their elders. Most teens are not mature enough yet (or maybe ever) to recognize the unquantifiable ways in which parents struggle and work to raise you, as well as trying to discipline or teach you how to be a decent adult. The kids who claim their parents are idiots... are the true idiots themselves.

Sometimes I think it's due to a loss of culture, at least in America with immigrant families, as the first gen kids grow arrogant and demanding from growing up in an individualistic & materialistic society, instead of a culture that values respecting elders and family like their parents probably came from.

That is just how a lot of kids are now. They don't appreciate much. Usually later on they change their minds about it though. I don't know though. I never badmouthed my parents, I don't speak to them much anymore but I was always passive about it. It's just people trying to act tough I'm sure. I hear this crap all the time out of my kids friends, I don't give it much attention though I do not get badmouthed so who knows.

Whether someone deserves respect or not, its really up to the person in question. They are not bound by respecting out of the fact that they should, just by the fact of if they want to or not. The world is full of assholes though. It stinks.

That sounds pretty much right. My mother (who is Vietnamese, and quite traditional in her views) believes a woman should be feminine, subservient and married off ASAP. She's also blatantly said that she had children because she wanted somebody to look after her in her old age, and that she wishes she'd had sons. (Instead, she had two daughters, haha) She has a terrible temper and to this day loses her shit whenever either of us do something to displease her.

On the other hand, my father who is very much a Western man, is completely laid-back and liberal and thinks his daughters should do whatever makes them happy in life. Strangely (or not strangely...) enough, both my sister and I have a lot more respect for him than we do for our mum.

Like some people here have said, mutual respect has a lot to do with it. There's things I like about my parents and things that make me wish I could put myself up for adoption. They have their flaws and so do I. I tolerate everything whatever it is and I'm grateful for them because I know some kids have bad parents that don't deserve jack.

That kid that slapped his mom is messed up. He should've thought a little more and his reason is stupid. I've hit my dad but in a playful way. Like, we have play fights and stuff.

I show my mother respect...I don't like being around her, but I do show he respect...where as my dad; he can just go fuck himself. I will never show that man respect because he doesn't deserve it. The man is the essence of stupidity. When all 5 of your children want nothing to do with you, you know you fucked up as a parent. It's funny, because, I was the last child to actually want to be around him, and then he went even more retarded and ruined it :\

It depends on how the parents are though.

When you are some idiot teenager it is easy to disregard everything your parents have done for you or tried to do for you. Some kids when they are that age still think money grows on trees, mom and dad hates them because they won't let them go to a party or won't buy them some overpriced article of clothing or let them go to school dressed like a idiot. When they have kids or mature a little they probably won't be as disrespectful towards their parents.

What?? Some kid HIT his mom? .. and in public? ... dude that is just not right. No guy should ever hit a lady regardless and sure as hell not your mom!!!! and in front of the school???? Abuse of any kind is wrong.
what the hell are kids turning into these days? Parents need to get a handle on their kids. you are not their best friend, you are their parent and guardian, if you want a best friend get a dog.
I may sound old fashioned but i was taught to respect your parents, respect your elders, act your age, and that there is NEVER an accuse to be rude.
my friends are at the age where they are all getting married and having kids and all i can say is we all agree on one thing: "i brought you into this world and i can take you out... i'll just make another one that looks exactly like you." LOL

It really depends on the parents, just because someone has kids doesn't make them a better or somehow more respectable person.

Teens talking smack about their parents is nothing new. They did it 10 years ago when I was in high school.
