Since this is a predominantly English/USA message board it would help if you could spell and word your questions so that those of us who DO speak English and live in the USA could understand what the hell you said...

I respect and love my parents. They are wonderful people who have always approached parenthood with love and the best of intentions. They always had my best interests in mind and heart when making decisions. I may not have always agreed with their decisions as I was growing up but what did I know, I was a kid? I really believe my parents are an excelent model for parenthood. I keep open communication with them and hope I can follow in their foot steps with the good and learn from their mistakes when raising my own daughter. I learned trust, love, honesty, respect, and so much more from them.
I believe being consistant, honest, caring, and strong as a parent are important features. Not all decisions are easy as a parent but that's part of the job. Though loving children comes so easily. Figure out where your priorities lie and then communicate them.
Parents, always make choices that are for the long term benefit of the child.
Children, trust your parents. It's not an easy job.

Too many people think that it is the child's fault that they do not respect them. But most likely it is the parent's fault, for not teaching them to respect. They sit there toddler's in front of the t.v., feed them ice-cream and candy so they shut up. A few weeks ago I seen my neighbor's 3 year old, playing close to the street. Parent's don't put the effort they used to into parenting. I am not a parent, so maybe I shouldn't even comment on this. But I do know that parenting is hard, but my kid's aren't going to be sitting in front of the TV for hours. I think that if parent's raise their child right, with decency, respect and discipline. They will turn out right. But we live in a degenerate society.

I live in a country where children of all ages still respect their parents. I think it's because parents here are really concerned by their children's education. I mean, children are raised by their mother and father(when he's not at work) and not by a stranger.I don't want to judge anyone but I think that if the lack of respect towards parents in developed countries is so wide spread, it's because there is a problem in the circle family. in my viewpoint, children there are given too much gifts but not enough time and affection.

I'm a fifteen-year-old girl, which any parent of a teenager knows, is a synonym for "nightmare." However, even though my situation isn't exactly normal, I love and respect my parents completely. My mom was a stay-at-home mom up until I was in second grade, and then she worked extremely part time until she had to get a full-time job to pay for my brother and I to expensive private schools. So, yeah, I spent a lot of time with my mom growing up. Like everyone else has been saying, so many parents just plop their kids in front of the TV and hope for the best. My mom always actually DID stuff with me. Played with me, read to me, took me places, that sort of thing. And as a result, she's one of my favorite people in the world.
And OMG, don't EVEN get me started on my dad. I absolutely love him to death! And I completely respect him. And trust me, he's FAR from a perfect parent. He's one of those people who can't stand little kids. He, like, made it his life goal to make me be a tomboy. Because of him, I'm a fifteen-year-old girl who is unable to cry because he used to get mad at me whenever I cried as ai child. But now that I'm a teenager and more like a small adult and more tolerable, my dad and I are super close. Because I felt like I had to earn his love, once I actually did, I felt so much better for it.
So, yeah, don't write off teenage girls as nightmmares. I spend more time with my parents then I do with my friends.

you know, it is parents who neglect or can't handle their responsibilities as parents that make these children have no more respect for them... if you don't teach your child to respect you, they will not respect you... if you don't instill in them what is right and wrong, they'll lose respect for you when they're grown too because they have to figure everything out themselves... i'm in that stage... it's frustrating... but i just think that since i'm healthy and still alive, it's commendable i guess... seriously i don't respect my parents much... life's like that... uh huh, that's the way it is...

i'm holding on to the memories, yet i'm hopeful for tomorrows. spoonfuls of moments together, when everything's gone will it end just like that. a white plastic cup, almost licked clean, easily broken, not worth keeping. or will it be like a glass of everlasting well water.

Oh, please! Parents are letting their kids down. Kids are raised by TV and video games because parents let them be that way. It's convenient for the parents and it creates kids totally ungrounded and confused about right and wrong.

Parents are responsible to some extent.
