How do you view the young generation today?

Today's young generation might be acting that way but you'll also find old people without manners as well. Maybe that's one of the reasons why kids nowadays are disrespectful of old ones.

Well a lot of times, I think overall, it is the way a person is brought up and raised as to what type of respect they will show to older people, their bosses, etc. I have seen people in their early 20s that are very respectful and polite, while I have seen others in their 30s that seem to be very unpolite, and act like the World owes them a living. Personally sometimes I wish people could meet someone exactly like them, and be able to see themselves in the mirror as to who they really are, and then be able to base and live life off of this.

hmmm nice topic...there are different reasons why youth iz gettin rude day by day. Family life is vanished so no respect for elders is taught........further world is goin towards a more materialistic approach in vch EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF concept is being promoted.so nobody cares or bothers........thirdly parent do not give due time to their children coz of struugle for infinite wishes vch offcourse don,t come easy......there can be many but the thing to solve the problem is WHATEVER U ACHIEVE AND BECOME IN LIFE,PLZ DON,T LOOSE UR BASICS....VALUES AND MUTUAL RESPECT IS VERY IMPORTANT....DON,T ACHIEVE NYFIN TO SHOW THUMBS DOWN TO OTHERS BUT BE SHARING.mutual respect is the only solution to the problem

hi Dominique I think some are rude and disrespectful and that could come from parents who were also rude and disrespectful too. A lot of kids are just plain spoiled and want everything when they want it and usually do get it. i dislike how a lot of youngsters have been taught to be disrespectful to us senior citizens. I blame the parents as they did not set a good example before the kids ggrew up andwent their own way.

I am starting to see this as well but it is mainly due to the upbringing or the community around them.

I kind of share the same views as you about the youth today and I would probably technically be classified as the youth of today being 20 years old. However, to say that it's just the youth of this generation that is rude and disrespectful certainly is unfair because human kind as a whole has been pretty rude and disrespectful in a multitude of ways. Just look at the way we treat plants, animals, each other, possessions, and most importantly the earth that we live and depend on. At least with the younger generations we are starting to realize the error of the past like not caring or even thinking about the consequences of spewing toxic waste into our air and water daily. It's up to all of the generations next in line to try and fix all of the problems left behind for them by the humans that came before them. Things for populations to come in the future are going to only get harder unless we can start to show people that we ABSOLUTELY have to do what we can to be as mindful of the planet as possible or else all the Armageddon hoopla we've been hearing about may come true in the near future. Like you said though there are a lot of people out there that only care about themselves and their wants, there are people like this in every generation. In fact, I would have to say that a majority of people are like this. Respect has to be given both ways and if a rude disrespectful person that is older then you is treating you like you are stupid, you can only deal with it for long until you have to say something. I don't think that people should demand respect and loyalty from someone when they themselves have a lot to work on to evolve as a person. Respect should be given to loving, caring people that have open hearts and minds and that are willing to work with us all to better the health of life overall as a whole.

For me they are not good influence by there owned society and the rest of more years to come the violence influence.

Not all of them I think? Still Filipino Coed secondary students are still respectful and observing the way of being an Honorable young people and single people of today.

This generation is both good and bad. On the darker side, today's youth are wild, disobedient, and yes, disrespectful. But on the lighter side, they are intelligent and creative individuals, admit it or not. They possess a lot of potential, really and thy have the abilities that make a great person.

I think that right. The youngster is not respectful with the old ones. They think that it's funny to make other people angry and they have more acknowledge that the older one. Maybe it because of their society.

Yes most of us are changing and this is all because of our surrounding and the kind of company we get from others , But still youth has the ability to decide their own good and bad and this will keep on increasing with time .Also this is not the case with every body we still respect our elders coz we get a good education and good company .

Yeah, I think most of the youngster today are rude and disrespecful to older people especially. I can see many youngster now are influenced by the mass media and feel that being rude with older people is a cool act.

so true...i for myself im 17 and i dont like hanging out with teens my age group so much because thy act childish. i like hanging out with adults more. i dont think im weird though.

i view the generation today as a generation of extremes, at one end you have people who are educated and courteous and on the other you have people who do not have manners.

their generation is totally different, however, it really depends on the kind of upbringing they have had. what kind of atmosphere they have in their respective homes.parents and significant others have great influence the way youngsters would become as they become older person in the society.

I am totally agree with you, and i think the kids of today are to spoiled and don't have discipline at all. I think all start from parents "entering" school and ask for more kids rights. Where are the days when a teacher enter a class all the kids stand for him and tell him good morning. Now they call him dude drop air plans on him and even curse him! I am shame on that. I think the media, TV and internet cause a big mess to..

oh yes, I really hate this fact. I used to face some kids which dare say to me: "I don't like you and I don't need you anymore. you may go now." oh my God, why do they not seem to know how to respect other people? I think they are too spoiled by their parents. they are given everything they want. they are praised many times. they are allowed to make mistakes which harm other people. the son of my mother's friend broke a flower vase intentionally and her mother just said "darling, darling, don't do that again. do you get hurt by the broken pieces?". my friend who opens a Chinese course business in her own house has to face naughty kids who often drop the standing lamp and projector. when told about this, their mothers defended their kids by saying "you have to learn how to deal with kids." I think we have to be harsh to kids who show these disrespectful actions, to make them realize that these habits are the wrong things to do and it cannot be tolerated. we must start from not to spoil kids anymore. praise them for the right things they do and tell them how to behave rightly every time they make mistakes.
