youngsters don't give respect-generation gap is one of the reasons.there are also reasons 1)western culture 2)Tv shows 3)addictions.Earlier days father,mother also sometimes grandfather,grandmother were living with family and thereby every kid was getting cultural education and everybody was respected.But now families have become smaller and so also parents are engaged outside for their duties and kid remain alone or taken care by paid servents.Kids miss parent's love, affection when they need hence they become careless.Hence only youngsters are not responsible but family system,lifestyle is equally responsible.Even todays we see some youngester--polite,enthusiastic.Proper care by parents is required.

I do think some of it has to do with the generation gap. So much has changed, especially in the last 10 years, that I think it is tough for people to relate sometimes. However, I do know that RESPECT remains the same. Regardless of whether or not we did the same things when we were kids, or will do the same things when we are older, it still would no give anyone the right to disrespect someone else. I think we all deserve respect, regardless of how old we are.
