[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are so many teens in this area that are so obnoxious, so disrespectful and I think it comes down to parents in most cases. Rich, middle class and poor alike. Students harassing and bullying teachers is common occurrence today, and then often parents taking kid's side rather than disciplining the kid. What do you think we should do differently, why are there so many kids who feel they can insult and bully teachers, parents, police officers? What are we doing wrong? Teens were always rebellious and there was always talking back, but I think now it is becoming like a contagious disease with no boundaries. What should we as parents do?[/quote]

You honestly think that mess comes from a good family?  Please don't even put me in as "what are we parents doing wrong" when comparing.  What an insult.  [/quote]

Please define a "good family?" What does that mean to you?  Wealthy, middle class, poor but with manners? How do you define a good family?  If I see a kid who is decently dressed, goes to a pricey school, has tutors, wealthy parents, participates in sports, is that a good family? How is it then that their teen DD is insulting her high school teachers?  How is it that the mother is going to the principle and asking why is this teacher asking her DD to be quiet in the class and does the teacher have principal's backing on this? For all appearance, this family is nothing but trash with all of their money to me. If you are on the same page as me in this, great, if your kids are well behaved, great, but where did I say "good family?"  I said kids of all strata, so I need to ask you to rethink what you are saying, you just insulted me while claiming to be from a good family.[/quote]
