Answer 1

No.

You will change your mind completely by the time you reach our age.




g-day!

Answer 2

By virtue of their age, grandparents have earned the respect first, hands down. The young have not come of age to demand respect let alone proclaim that they have respect per say coming to them from the elderly. Yes, their is a place and a time that can be said that the young have earned respect, but not as a hard rule. The young are not co-equal with the elderly or us if you please.
The word respect here in the west is a word that is most often misused and misunderstood. Respect is applicable to the young when it comes to boundaries especially when it comes to touching. No person has the right to overstep their boundry and touch another (especially a young one) person when the invitation for touching has not been invitied. Here is that place where the older generation needs to step back and not violate. This is the one time that the younger folks can proclaim and demand respect.

Answer 3

Everyone deserves respect. The quote that goes something like don't judge another until you have walked in his moccasins is pretty good! I would not wish to be a young person trying to find my way in today's world!

I enjoyed a mountainside to walk over when I was a teenager and trying to understand what made the world go round. I had small classrooms and teachers who had the time to listen and teach - and by that I mean really teach, not just meet Bushes standards of testing that is pretty meaningless. I was taught how to think. I was taught to question what I read. Who wrote it? What is their political point of view? What monetary motives might have created that statement? And a hundred more questions.

Too many young people are told do as I say and don't, for God's sake, try thinking for yourself!

I respect a young person's right to question and to search for answers. I respect the struggles and fears that drive our young. I respect their right to be heard lovingly. I hope I will behave in a way that earns their respect, even after they question my motives!

But I do hope they have enough self-respect to behave with dignity. Enough faith to hope. Enough courage to reach for the stars. And a willingness to understand that grandparents are people too. We have our own aches and pains. Our own worries. And our own shortcomings. Perhaps from a teenagers perspective our hopes for good things in their lives sounds like disrespect for their culture.

Answer 4

Respect is a mutual thing. I find that even the mildest rebuke brings forth a torrent of abuse from certain youngsters. Do not tell me that the rebuke is never deserved. I do not try to jump a queue in front of youngsters but it is sometimes difficult if the shopkeeper insists that I am served first. This often happens when a young child with 20p to spend takes a long time to make up his mind. i think that at times we all need to learn that we have to live with one another and a little tolerance on both sides is needed. Is that not also respect?

Do you not think thatthe last part of your question is dissrespectful? I have answered this with a respect and courtesy which in view of the above is not deserved

Answer 5

Respect is EARNED not give like a bag of sweets and most grandparents have earned the respect you should be giving them.I suspect what you are realy asking is should grandparents not criticise you when you do something wrong and obviously thats what has happened looking at this and the other question you have posted on here

Answer 6

no this should be the opposite away around. us old fouges have been around a long time and know a lot more then the younger ones do......but respect goes both ways , that what i tell my grandkids you respect me and i will surely respect you and to this day it has worked.. i think because of the new technology out and around they know more about that then we do.... but like i say the things we know would take them years to learn and then maybe they still would not understand us..... but llike i say respect deserves respect good luck on you question..........

Answer 7

Respect is a mutual thing and is learned and earned by having alot of contact.

I adored my grandparents , they unfortuantely all died while I was young, and my parents died fairly young as well so my nephew missed out on knowing his grandparents.

It's actually parents by their behaviour and attitude to their parents that model how young people will feel about older people.

Both need to be treated with dignity.

However if you're rude to me, trust me kid, I can be ruder in ways you've never considered.

Answer 8

Iam 26 and I think people have to earn respect and if they are polite and give respect then I guess the answer is Yes they also should.

Answer 9

What are you trying to build a reputation here? Your way out of your league little girl. I was a b****h, long before you became a b***h, so get on down the road with you immature garbage.
Learn how to spell
Respect you??? You must be kidding!!

Answer 10

Kid you have a lot of growing up to do.
I think youngsters should respect their parents, grandparents, and great grandparents.
First off you need to learn how to spell. I am 70 and proud of it and not great, great, grandchildren respect their elders in return I respect them.
But you seem to have a major problem here.
If we act rude to youngsters its because the are rude to us. Fair is fair in this world.

Answer 11

I respect anyone who shows me the respect I deserve - especially as an old fouges(?) who has lived and learnt a lot of things in this life.
