I let the wife go out with some friends, so I decided to take the kids to McDonalds. I don't like to take them there a lot, but the indoor enclosed play area makes it easy to watch three little ones.
In the area these four teenagers come in and are eating. No problem, but they start dropping F-Bombs and N-Bombs (keep in mind these kids are white) left and right. With the place packed with children. A mother asks them to have a little respect and watch their language. One of the little punk tells her to "**** off." The stunned woman gets manager and he kicks them out. On the way out he calls the women a "fat *****!"
Unbelievable, I hope I wasn't that disrespectful when I was a teen!
Teens are built to be barrier pushers.
Its part of the cycle.
They have to fight the world to try and find their place in it.
BTW those two things in red in your post say a couple of thi ngs about your lack of respect for others
Anyone who expects "respect" from a teen in todays society is being silly.
We dont give them much to respect these days.
That is utter BULLSHIT! What teens don't get these days isn't respect, it's
upbringing. Kids don't know how to act because they haven't been TAUGHT how to act.
I was in a Dollar Store in Farmington KY last week. Checking out in front of me was a young lad, I'd say about 14 or so. The clerk asked him a question about his purchase. He replied, "I think so, ma'am." Then when she finished she said "Have a nice day." He replied, "Yes, ma'am. You too ma'am." I said to the clerk, "what a well mannered young man!" And we have some VERY well mannered teenagers around here.
If I had taken that bunch of little heathens out they would have been back home in 5 minutes flat after the first infraction! I think the fact that the person who started this thread allowed it to go on and put up with it in public until someone else intervened speaks far louder than anything he has to say.
