I am currently going to a public school and I have noticed that a disturbing trend is becoming more apparent. The lack of respect is actually astonishing, I can't believe some of the things that come out the other students mouths. I can honestly say that I want to smack them just because they think that it is acceptable. I have heard a techer called a bitch, cunt-face, cock-sucker to their face. I don't know when this became acceptable behavior but I am getting fed up with not being able to have a normal class without being searched because one student said that he was going to kill the teacher for giving him homework. When did the parents decide to go on vacation? I know that if my mom got a call from the school telling her that I had disrespected a teacher, she would have slapped me stupid. I was never allowed to disrespect an adult, I was allowed to question authority don't get me wrong but not completely disrespect an adult. I even see it in small children in public, it really does amaze me how the parents put up with it. I can't stand a kid acting like that for five minutes around me, I think that parnets should disciplene their kids more until they learn some sence of the word respect. I have seen a child not even 13 yrs. old demand that his mother buy him a very expensive video game system and his mother bought it for him. I know that when I was small if I demanded anything from my mother she wouldn't have even taken me to the bathroom to spank me she would have just done it in the middle of the store infront of God and everyone. I am uterly disgusted that my generation will believe that it is acceptable that if something happens that you don't like that you just have to call someone a duragitory term and then you don't have to do it. I want to know why this has become acceptable in our society and who started this craze of parents not wanting to be parents. Parents number one job is to tell you "NO!", no don't pu the penny in the socket, no you can't have a brand new sports car, no you can't party every night, no no no. I have met kids that their parents have never told them "NO!" or even hey you might not want to do that. I asked some of the parents why they reacted like that, the response I got was that they wanted to respect their kids personality. I just have to say that if you are never going to tell your kid "No!" you had better have a better reason than that. This is jsut my oppion I am not trying to force it on anyone, I jsut think that this is an issue that should be addressed before it gets worse.
