[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are any of you all the actual parents of teens? Do you remember being a teen?

In many instances, it's all about defending yourself. Especially, if you feel you are being wrongly accused/singled out/etc. It's not disrespect, it's trying to state your case. As you grow into adulthood, you learn the time and the place to do this but teens are emotional and generally want to immediately defend their character. [/quote]

I think teens need to learn how to shut the hell up and respect authority. BUT I also think that expecting them to be held to the same consequences as trained, educated professionals is insane! By all witness accounts I read (from blacks and whites), the white woman started it by being insulting and taking the first swing. Teenagers today are not going to tolerate being told to go back to their Section 8 housing when 1. They may very well live in the subdivision, one comparable or nicer 2. The harassers look like trailer trash themselves. Miss Piggy was really having a 50s flashback and had to be reminded the hard way that young blacks today feel [b]empowered.

The kids were being kids. We need adults to be adults. And realize that when we fail to do so there are consequences.[/quote]

did you mean entitled?  Climbing pool fences and tresspassing seem more like entitled behavior to me.[/quote]

Generalizing about an entire group based on the actions of a small minority is almost always wrong. Do you know how many of the kids jumped a fence or trespassed?  Certainly not all and, from the sounds of things, very few. The girl who was thrown to the ground, for one, didn't.
