Teenagers making fun out of elderly people - How do you support it???

I dont think teens should do this to by no means. Its mean and down right rude and they should have been raised better. I do understand joking about getting old with friends but not joking about any one paticular person out in public.

No I do not support that!I was raised to respect my elders and something like that would have never even crossed my mind. I do know what you are talking about....I've seen it happen myself.I usually tell the kids when I see something like that going on to have some respect.It is a parents job to teach a child to have respect for others and it seems like that we have become a bit more relaxed on instilling such values in todays society.At least that's my opinion on this.

honestly speaking ocassionaly even i do so but to be frank its really not good

Defend the elderly people by telling those rascals, "that's exactly what will happen to you when you get old or it could be worse!"

NO WAY DO I SUPPORT THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR!! I TEACH MY DAUGHTER TO HAVE RESPECT FOR ALL PEOPLE. DON'T THESE KIDS REALIZE THAT THE ELDERY PERSON THEY ARE BEING SO DISRESPECTFUL TO WILL BE THEM SOME DAY!!

No, I'd never be supportive of such behavior;it's very cruel for teens or anyone to treat someone in this way. But it's also important to try not to generalize all teens as being so cruel and insensitive. It's true that in a lot of ways they are immature and very insecure so may act in inappropriate ways, although this isn't an excuse. But there are a lot of teens who are very mature and compassionate. I think a lot of it has to do with how they're raised and the types of kids they choose to be friends with.
