So I'm taking this from my other thread, but what are your thoughts on how kids are disciplined/how they act today?
Personally, I think the large majority of kids are way underdisciplined and rude. I hear so many kids today cussing their parents/teachers out, telling their parents to shut up, and being a smartass toward their teachers. Like, what is so hard about being respectful? If I ever told either of my parents to shut up, God help me. I just don't understand why so many kids these days feel the need to act like such brats, and furthermore why their parents let them. I can't even begin to count the number of times I've been somewhere and had my time made worse by some screaming kid or some little brat who can't keep their hands off of me or someone I'm with. I can't stand it when the parents/guardians just sit there and do nothing, like it's not their responsibility or something.
I just want to know what happened to kids being respectful? Like since when is it okay for a kid to cuss out their parents? Sure, I get pissed at my parents sometimes, but that doesn't give me the right to tell them to "f off". I can recall one time when I was over at a classmate's house and their mom told them to do something, and their response was "shut up, I'm busy". And the parent just stood there.
Opinions?

i think swearing around & telling your parents to shut up is ok, as long as it's humorous. it shows a healthy relationship imo. i dont want parents who spank me with a wooden spoon for looking them in the eye. thats not how households should be imo sorry
but being disrespectful towards ppl of authority is Not Okay and idk how my peers (who are 13-14) have the guts to talk back to teachers.

@animefreak That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that kids should not be allowed to swear at and tell their parents to shut up in a non-joking manner.

I think it has to do with smart phones partly, at least for my siblings, they are so wrapped up in them they forget to feed their kids. Also, people give them to their kids as a distraction. Also an era based on "Loving and finding yourself" and if a parent or teacher yells at their kid or does anything to discipline them, it's considered abuse. My father used to hit me if I looked him in the eye, he used to call me a worthless brat, he'd shove me, etc. that's abuse but giving your kids timeouts, taking away privileges, etc. is not. (He doesn't do it now, please don't call CPS)
Also learned behavior. Look at Disney Channel or Nickolodeon, Either the parents aren't present or they're idiots and the kids are in charge. They write in every 5 year old as an evil brat. they have a show where there are twin boys (not suite life) who shoplift, fight each other, scream at each other, call their parents stupid, etc. and their mom just smiles and it's considered comedy to treat people like sh*t

also: "treat adults with respect because they're adults" is stupid. i treat everyone nicely, but that ^ is dumb. i'm going to treat adults casually. not rudely, but i'm not going to he uptight like "thank you very much, good sir" when im getting a frozen lemonade from timmies. i'll say "thanks" or "thank you". this isn't the 1400s.
tbh, people have to remember that the world is always changing. maybe "thank you very much, good sir" was regular to say to a barista when, say, a 25 year old was a child, but it wouldn't be regular anymore. you get me? compare attitudes from the 1400s and attitudes from the late 1900s and 2000s. maybe not that drastically, but it's always changing like that. idk

idk dude I think I act pretty okay
...Okay, in all seriousness, I think it's terrible when kids yell and swear at people constantly, especially when they're parents. If the people the kids are yelling at are literally abusive, that's a whole 'nother story, but normally, it's just not okay. If the kids aren't properly disciplined, what kind of message does it send to them? They could grow up into criminals.
did I even word that right?

My mom's a teacher, and one time a parent actually came up to her and asked what she (my mom) was going to do about her (the parent)'s child, as they had gotten in trouble for taking pictures on their phone in the bathroom, which is obviously not allowed. Mind you, this kid was eight. Way too young to have a smartphone imo. Anyways, this parent actually expected my mom to discipline her child for her. Apparently the parent "didn't know what to do". My mom suggested the very unique method of taking the phone away.
