There seems to be "No Respect Left for Adults" by Adolescents Today!
Am I wrong? Am I the only person that sees it? I am only 36 and I can't believe the way that even the fifth graders in the school where I work speak and act towards adults. They have absolutely no respect. If you try to discipline them at all they don't even care because they know nothing is going to happen. There are no consequences. When I was a child, if you did something wrong you knew there were conseqences and you'd better look out, but now they just look at you and tell you "if you touch me I am going to call the police". Part of the reason in my opinon is the way this world is coming to. There are so many parents that have to both work out of the home just to feed their families that their is no longer supervision or control over these children. It seems like noone has authority anymore ,teachers, principals, parents .
Of course there are always exceptions.
We even have a child that the prinipal has to physically go across the strreet, go in the house and get the child up and ready so they come to school. The parents are working so many hours and jobs they just aren't there or are sleeping. It is very sad, and I feel sorry for these children because they are really the ones who in the long run are going to suffer the reprecussions from all of this. The economy is falling apart. Everywhere you turn around here people are up and leaving their homes and everything in it because they can't afford their houses or to take it with them. Something needs to be done. Between the rising gas prices, food prices and everything else without wages rising or jobs for the ones without jobs I really wonder what it will be like for my daughter in college who will someday in the near future be having children.

Although I have no children of my own, I can certainly relate to the sentiments
discussed here.
On a similar topic, my partner & I were talking yesterday after going shopping.
The cashier at the shop was chewing gum the whole time she served us - I
remember working in a shop as a teenager, and we'd practically have been
fired for that, or at least been disciplined in some way.
We agreed, like the oldies we are, that "things weren't like that in our day"! :-)
It seems to me that it's the

I have one teen, and one that will soon be a teen.
My mother says, she would not want the challenge of raising children now days.
She also admits, after all of these years, we were exceptionally good kids.
My mother had to work full time while we were growing up, and so did my Dad.
Another story, but--my Dad still works well beyond his retirement. Somewhat by choice and somewhat no choice. Medicine & medica care is not cheap, as we all know. Well--guess I could go on a whole new issue

This is a direct consequence of the activities of social engineers.
I well remember when "progress" required that close knit communities had to be split up and dispersed so that 'more economically sensible' housing could be built.
I well remember when a family actually was something - not just a vaguely remembered concept from 'the old days'.
I well remember when to be doing something wrong actually felt 'wrong'. Wrong doers were actually afraid of being caught.

This is true here in Europe as well.
To many do gooders have caused this and not thought about the consequences for the future.
All I can say is thank the power above that I believe in that I will be long gone from this world before these pathetic specimens of the human race take over running things.

Hi Tracey, I guess this is a tough period that the USA is going through. Something needs to be done, and I am sure that citizens will rise to the occasion amidst those who say "It cannot be done!".
