yes. and im glad someone has finally figured it out! kids learn from their parents, and teachers, mentors, etc. by their leaders showing them respect, they actually learn to copy their behavior, even the most unruly ones.

Do you mean that young people need to have more respect for others or that they need to be give more respect?
Actually both are true. In societies where children are respected as individuals, not as entertainers for their families, they are more likely to grow up to achieve something--not just posture like thugs. In societies where children give respect to others who have earned it--not just those with money, they are more likely to grow up to be useful and productive.
Young people today have lots of respect FOR thugs. That's why they want to be like them.

no. Everyone needs respect and EVERYONE needs to give it. Adults feel like they can treat teens any kind of way just because their ids say they are over 18. And that's not right. And "thugs" as you call them, are dealing with a greater problem than respect.

A New York cop looked at the criminals arrested and tried to work out what they had in common.
They were rich and poor, young and old, all racial and cultural backgrounds.
The one thing they all had in common was they all believe their parents didn't love them enough.
A loving family environment is the best thing to give them.
And for those that didn't have that, break the cycle now and offer a loving home to your family. Prepare for that. Plan for that. Work for that.
Problems will keep on being passed from generation to generation until someone takes responsibility to change things.

Respect and responsibility is what is needed. A lot of young people are egocentric (the world revolves around them, and they think that something is owed to them.) If you can get them to think about others, this changes and the respect and responsibility starts coming into play.

you're half right. more respect from the peoplethey look up to if not them, then their parents from an early age, but more importantly is the strong knowledge that they are loved and that they get attention for the good things they do instead of all the bad things. everyone is different and this isn't the formula for a good person but it would help.

i agree 100%....once they started taking away adults rights to rasie kids the right way in school and work environments they started a snow ball effect of giving kids the ok to do what they want to...when half the time they cant even manage to change there clothes daily....when kids respected adults in the past we never had the problems we are now facing...

Respect is earned by maturity. Sensible behaviour is looked up to by all. Childish behaviour is often tolerated but only shows immaturity. Be cool and grow.

no, it won't stop them. What they consider respect is to fear them. They need to do respectable things.
i have a cousin who wants the world to kiss his A s S because he went to prison. He feels he served his time and is a man now. He's a wasted piece of human trash.
