Well I got a couple things on my mind tonight. one and the biggest one of all is that some of these kids today. Who the hell raised them anyway. no respect, morals, manners, if I did some of the things these kids do today to my parents I would of been in a world of trouble. I myself believe that alot of it has to do with the technology and the way we have all gotten so lazy. hell I remember when you had to remember everyones phone number let alone be at home to answer the damn thing. Today if you loose you phone you are pretty much screwed. i am not saying i am any better than anyone else, thought i would be the smart one and actually write the numbers down in my phone book and keep it there in case of emergency. the problem was that people do not have the same phone number for 10 or 20 years anymore they change phone numbers so much and I failed to update the numbers often enough so basically my plan pretty much was a failure...I raised my kids to have respect for others and I find that there really are not alot of kids around that have any respect for themselves much less anyone else. One day a friend of mine told me I have the most respectful boys they ever met. to bad they do not practice that at home.....lol, all kids are like that. when my boys were small (twin boys) I often had to go it alone to the store and there was a time or two that they missed behaved in public. It was war for me and I taught my boys to behave. I did not even stop at a gas station with them in the car for 2 yrs. they learned how to behave when we went anywhere. you know all i ever asked of my children was them to respect others and to always be themselves. at first I thought i had failed in raising my kids, thought they would never become responsible..... no hope. but them boys proved me wrong. the both turned out to be men that i am so very proud of......kids are lazy today. and I think it is technology that tends to make us all lazy enough of the kids do not even go outside to play anymore. example: couple years ago my sister bought a wii for her 3 children when they first got it they said to her "You mean we have to get up to play? why? my sisters kids i am very proud to say is that her kids do go outside and play unlike most. maybe we need to just stop using technology to babysit our kids and start raising them ourselves again... then maybe we could get a little respect..... JUST MAYBE WE HAVE BECOME SO LAZY WITH TECHNOLOGY OURSELVES THINKING THAT IT IS A BABYSITTER. I AM JUST SAYING!

I'd say that and be ware of what they're watching on TV. Media now a days teaches children that adults are stupid, old and disgusting people who should be ignored and not be given any respect. They also teach that you can get away with wrong doing. There is no moral at the end of the story. Watch some of these new cartoons and Disney shows they have on TV. Kids idolize and imitate these characters. I banned my girls from watching those shows and am so glad that I did. Another thing is that parents these days are not behaving as parents. They are too busy trying to act cool and be their kids buddy instead. Maybe that is another reason for the lack of of respect these days. We have to teach them better while they're still young and keep them away from as many bad influence as possible.
