I was not made to respect my elders...but I was taught to respect them for their life experience.
I was also taught to give up my seat on public transport....something I would still do today if I saw an elderly person standing.

I was taught that it was rude to answer back to an adult....I was taught that manners cost nothing and singled you out from those who had none.
