For the most part yes most of them are. My 10 year old knows better. I thought her manners and to respect adults and the elderly and she best do it or answer to me. I won’t put up with rudeness or disrespect. What is wrong with todays kids for the most part is internet and TV. Also, the laws on “abuse” most parents are afraid to try to discipline them but you can do it with in the law and within reason.

I do not think so. Most of the people are not spending their time outside their homes. They are confining themselves to their computers and spend time playing games. Even the poor parents are also getting a computer for their children and are entertaining them instead of leaving them out freely. They are not enjoying their youth anymore freely as we were enjoying. They will be busy in their own work and parents will be busy with their own jobs.

But, once these children go out they are exposed to a new atmosphere and do certain things not accepted as good.

@JoDee Stout, You are right friend, upbringing of children in a family is very important. The parents are the first teachers of the child, plus when the child is born his mind is so empty, thus, a child needs very important learning that may serve as a strong foundation that may mold his life into a better citizen someday. For what a child learns during his young life will never depart from him as he grows mature individual ( John Locke)In the university where I am teaching, there are so many respectful students, so sickening situation in the classroom and in the entire campus.

I will agree to that statement 100% ,because it is very true. Kids nowadays make fun of everything nothing seems serious to them anymore. They always feel like that can get away with everything. You may find some kids even talking back at their parents and not get punished and that’s very wrong. In our days you wouldn’t even think of saying anything to your parent after that have said something that you don’t agree with, if you did you would have to face the consequences right there.  I don’t think I would be wrong to say that parents have slacked behind when it comes to parenting.  Not all parents but most.

I don’t think all children are disrespectful. it’s true that some of them can get really rude towards their teachers, parents and well…practically everyone. but it’s all up to how they were raised
