That's another wise lesson my parents taught me, besides not being forced into doing anything against your will, respect is earned. It's not an automatic right.
There are young people who deserve respect, because they're kind, honest, selfless, and there are older people who still haven't got the sense they were born with, for whom it's harder to make a show of respect.
