Most teens understand this way of less respect and more demand because of the way things are taught, with governments changing control. This has shifted values in modern day making it harder for these to be taught to the younger generation. Teenagers know this so they can speak in a belittled tone, words than can hurt using aggressive expressions.</p><p>Understanding an respecting what the older generation are trying to do means that teenagers can use this knowledge to succeed in their own life, knowing what it means to a human to keep the cycle going by teaching an guiding their next generations to build a better future for the adults of tomorrow.</p><p>This level of respect will always repay in ways you would never expect, maintaining this will keep an build stronger relationships between family and peers.</p><p>REMEMBER!

This creates a self centered type of attitude where doing the right thing doesn't seem to be the norm, its just how they see fit. Manipulation, behavior changes and constant rebellious attitude this moral conduct becomes broken as they see that the right no longer needs to be done. </p><p>Kind and courteous attitudes with help break this cycle.
