I have a diachotamy that I have been frequently exposed to or have witnessed.
It is a contraditiction of respect.
When I was younger and the teacher was disrespectful to me, I would naturally get annoyed, but when I did I was sent to detension for being 'disrespectful to her'.
I was told that I was back-chatting my parents for example (what ever that means).
I was faced with the confusion of not being able to discriminate the different between the way my anger is thought of as disrespectful and the other persons to me.
This I would like to know.

it begins in childhood, if you are not taught to respect, or it's not an important quality in your family, it's doubtful you would learn to be respectful on your own.

Respect or lack of it begins at home. You are to be taught when young to respect your elders and most decidedly your teachers. There are rules and you may have decided you didn't like your teachers rules and discipline but that's too bad. You're the kid, she's the adult. You had no right to be disrespectful to the teacher. Back talking is nothing more than saying things that challenge an adult's authority. Get over it, grow up and you will learn better if you don't take everyone on for everything they say or do.

You were right to feel the way you did then. Respect is a two-way street. Some people will show others respect no matter what, which to me is ridiculous and masochistic, but most others will retaliate quickly.
Self-respect is also something to consider. Do you respect yourself enough? Will you let people treat you any way they want? You would be disrespecting yourself at some point right?
When we were kids we didn't understand "the way the world works" and thought we knew it all, but we didn't. In fact, looking back it's almost funny to think that I thought I knew enough to run my mouth to adults. As an adult, however, I don't take much crap even with me being in the military.

You should treat others the way they treat you no matter what. If someone is nice to you, be nice back. If someone is disrespectful to you, be disrespectful right back!
I am against this idea that children must live with adults disrespecting them and then not being able to answer back or defend themselves. No matter what age you are or the other person is or how important you are or the other person is, treat as you are treated. Don't take crap and don't give it either.

it begins in childhood because that is when you shape yourself into the man or woman you will be in the future. Some parents teach it to their children but others it just comes natural....
