Why are white kids so disrespectful to their parents and cuss at them?

Question

Everytime I went to my white friend's house when we were kids they were always disrespectful to their parents and would call them names like "bitc*" and "wank3r" all the time. What brought this all back was a documentary I saw last night where these kids were cussing at their parents and slamming doors in their faces...why?

Answer 1

I don't think this is a race issue at all. I think this is a result of the government trying to interfere with how we raise our children and our right as parents to discipline our kids. The so-called "experts" that are supposed to know everything about raising kids, know nothing at all! The Bible is right when it says to "spare the rod and spoil the child"! A spanking is NOT abuse but sometimes a necessary tool in raising children! It is a teaching tool and a very effective one at that! I have seen people of every race use this tool to their advantage and raise respectable and wonderful children. I have seen parents who are too lazy to discipline their children and they have children who are so out of control that even the authorities cannot control them! When we stop listening to the "experts" who are in reality no nothings, we will be a lot better off! When we start teaching our children to respect their elders and address all adults with respect, then we will see a society where children will not run around with no rules like wild animals out of control! Parents, take control of your children! Bring back the switch and good old fashioned spankings!

I don't think it is a race thing, I think it goes back to the parenting. I will say though, that white parents do tend to be more relaxed with their parenting, no spanking, and the "letting the kid express himself", where as a black parent is more likely to beat the crap out of the kid for acting up, so they are scared to misbehave around their parents. Blacks and hispanics are all about respect in the world, from their children and from society and will cause a fit if they feel they were "disrespected". The problem is it usually turns into a race issue which is unfortunant.
I am white, but I can't stand those passive parents. I love my kids to death, but there is no way in H-E-L-L that I would tolerate that kind of behavior from them! They are old enough to talk like adults, they sure are old enough to be beat like adults and then they can get out of my house and live like an adult - which isn't as fun as it looks!

Answer 3

Honestly not all white kids act this way, and there are definitely some black kids that do the same way. It just depends on how the parents raise their kids if they are ok with the kids saying rude things at an early age the kids are going to keep doing and keep pushing it to that next level. I don't know why some parents allow this, maybe they're afraid that if they stop their kids they're going to hate them or something.

Answer 4

I don't think it is a race issue, either. My son goes to school with African-Americans, whites, and Asians. Some are disrespectful, and others are polite. There is no correlation to race.

Now, as a parent, I can tell you what the problem is--- those children who are cursing at their parents are most likely not well-parented. Their parents probably did not discipline them or teach them to be respectful. They just want to be their children's "friend".

I would lose those white friends, and try to find better friends, regardless of their skin color.

Answer 5

I am a kid, but it depends on the situation at hand for when you can blame the kids for being disrespectful. The problems come when one side, the kid or parent (s), feels a lack of respect from the other side. This can be the case for a backlash and the kids starting to disrespect the adults. Usually its a lot more than this. Disrespect can be caused by lack of communication, uncooperation in what could start out as calm situations, and other disrespect.

Answer 6

I've seen this with all races, not just whites. It comes from a lack of parenting and discipline.

I am white and I would never have spoken to my parents like that. Likewise, my children don't speak that way to me or my husband. We treat eachother with respect. It is a simple matter of teaching children respect at an early age and by being a good example for them to follow.

Sadly, not everyone should procreate and you witnessed a good reason why.

Answer 7

t'What you are witnessing is a deterioration of the American (NA) family. One of the main reasons is that their parents had no proper upbringing. (no morals).How can they set an example to their kids? They drink, smoke and fool around in front of their kids, They show them (the kids) no respect.
So they cant get any respect too.
Also you have to train and mould your kids from small, not when they become teenagers? Finally, many parents don't give quality time to their kids , they use the easy way out, they try to buy their love with toys and material things, which never work.. Too commercialized just like their love.

Answer 8

You can blame race if it makes you feel better, but I think more simply, it's how people parent...If you are a parent you must demand a certain amount of respect. You can not allow your children to talk to you, or others in that manner. I have an 11 year old son, so trust me I know a little about talking back, being rude, etc. But my son would never curse at me, and if he does, whoa!!! He would be intruduced to a new meaning of "being grounded" for sure...

With dicipline and proper parenting, you can decrease (not elliminate) alot of the problems with children... HTH

Answer 9

I don't feel that it is a race issue. A lot of it has to do with the school environment. Kids today are around a entirely different atmosphere. With DSS and other agencies taking away parental rights, parents have no alternatives. Other times, it is that the parents have different parenting styles and the kids know that and use that to cause conflicts between the parents. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH NOT TEACHING THEM CORRECTLY.

Answer 10

Black kids and white kids are the same on the inside and are equally as bad. I think the reason they're disrespectful to them is because there parents aren't fair enough and treat them like they are 5, so they are getting back at there parents, but it is HORRIBLE to do.
