   Theres media and literature encouraging them to be rebellious.Also children observe parents if the parents don't respect each other the children won't have respect for them too.

   Kids Respect Their parents Always But When A Conflict Occur Between Them Due To Any Reason specially Because Of Generation Gap , the Kids Starting To Avoid Parents And Insult Them . The Parents Should Understand That they Come to this World with Different Soul And Skills , let leave Them with Their Life , If They have Will To Be Become good Human being They Will One Day Otherwise You Can Challenge Them . Just Sit With Them And Understand What They Want And Never Force To Do Any thing.

   Somewhere along the way, parents have failed to teach and model respect before their children. Too often, parents are consumed with being their children's friends. Many spend too much time away from their children; or worst case scenario, have mentally and emotionally checked out from parenting because they have given other things priority in their lives (careers, relationships with others, material things, life's busyness, social commitments).

   Most parents see kids showing a lack of respect to their elders...really...I remember hearing the same thing growing up from my parents.
   
   I never intentionally tried to be disrespectful, but I know I was at times.
   
   I recently had a friend fear he was not raising his children right do to the lack of respect he/she was getting from their children. My response “who does.” My response wasn’t enough. He needed more, his fear of raising his children were deep, he truly felt he was failing. We talked some more and shared a few stories, but nothing seemed to ease his pain. I finally told him, children are not perfect and neither are you. The fact that you are concerned with whether or not your raising your children right is a sign your on the right track. So keep it up, it will all work out. He thanked me and we said are good bye's.
   
   Really though, if one thinks about his/her children, we love them and want to raise them right because they are our children, nothing more and nothing less, no matter what our children do, they will always be are children and we will always love them. The fear of raising them wrong is more or less a compass showing us “True Love.”

   I think this is dependent upon the parents and their parenting style.

   Our Future generations are the key to modern world but taking care of parents at their old age will give u an angry tension. Nowadays internet r teens parents they respect them instead of their mother who suffer pain to give birth to the particular....our societ has also lead to this way where there r more old age homes than schools.. and old parent r filled in each oldage homes..!
   
   The teens in the present will suffer the pain of parents when their children leave them...! Lets hope for a better future

   Kids believe they can do what they want when they want because parents and adults in general are to afraid of hurting little johnny's feelings.  My wife and I struggle with this on a fairly regular basis, I for one don't take his crap and do not care if he cries, He needs to learn when we say no we mean it, and if he mis behaves he will be punished.....and no spanking is still in my arsenal, as much as my wife dislikes it, I believe that it's a good tool.
   
   Oh and as far as disappointing in public, I stay out of other parenting issues and I expect others to leave me alone when my child is being disciplined.

   Socrates said, “The children now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise.”
   
   He said this in 400 BC.
   
   Every generation thinks that children younger than them are worse than ho they remember. The truth is kids are the same, and they always have been, and probably always will be.

   Parenting and society has changed, back when I was growing up, getting a butt whooping wasn't considered child abuse. Nowadays kids are taught a sense of entitlement, standards are lowered, and parents are barely out of high school themselves.
