Willow I think that Mad is trying to say that the way the coumminuty itself has allowed these changes, (whether in school, street, parks or the home,) is an indicment on the way that "SOME KIDS OF TODAY" do not know what it is to EARN respect and GIVE respect [BUT they do expect to RECIEVE respect and not have to GIVE respect] as the parents don't want/have respect.

Having read this thread and some of the posts have points for both sides (young/ old respect/ disrespect) and I'm just hoping that the postings will continue and that through this post some of the younger members may become nosey enough to look via the internet at information about why Gt Britian went to war in the 1914-1918 [The War to end all Wars] and then again 1939-1945 (lets not forget the people that suffered in the Far East)!

Maybe WE elders may have to look at how WE percive our young members and maybe we could have some sort of dialog with the younger members AND learn about what it is like to be a teenager in the 21st century.

Just a thought folks :engsmil:
