Why do we need to respect adults, but adults don’t have to respect children?

Why do we have to do things and listen to whatever our parents say, but they don’t have to follow what kids say?

Why do parents get all butthurt if we talk back, but they can talk back to us and get away with it?

Is the only reason why parents make kids, is so that they can boss them around? Because that’s what they do a lot.

Why do they hit us? But we can’t hit them?

Now I’m probably going to find a comment with a response that makes my comment look stupid as hell.

I understand the rest of the questions

but imagine only “making” kids to slap em all day LOL

I’m sure there’s that one rlly aggressive parent out there who does that tho lmao

IMO, depends on the age of the child, their personality, and the parent.

If you're 4, no one is really going to respect you because... you're 4.

If the child is a genuine angel, then you're going to be respected.

One of my teachers understand that kids go through so much, and care about us. If I'm slightly sad, she'll ask me if I'm okay. When I have a problem, I'll speak to her about it, and she'll listen and act on it. She's a great mom as well, she loves her kids and treats them like the world, but she sets boundaries that are fair.

Sadly, I don't see much people like that.

Parents have feelings too, and they have to do what's right for their child (like if they're hanging out with the wrong people but you think they're "cool").

Some parents don't understand what a kid goes through or understands basic emotions. If your kid is upset, thinks they are depressed and need help, it's because of that beaver dam phone. They didn't have these things back then or whatever + not understanding how kids are. My friends need help, so I talk to them and give them advice. I'll listen to their vents and problems, and give them answers that help, can't imagine what could I happen if I wasn't there

Basically, they don't understand because TiMes ArE ChAnGinG

For the most part, a lot parents just don't understand their kids well enough.

1 and 2) parents might be telling you to so something for the better, but they could be a narcissist (something along the lines) or might be a horrible parent in general

3) Some parents just feel the authority idk. They feel like it's their job?

4) First, Beating isn't illegal unless it's abuse :/. Second, they think it's going to help but it doesn't get anyone any where. You're just scaring a kid. I had to ask my parents to stop hitting me because it was scary and it obviously isn't working because I'm not listening. It worked, luckily.

Other way around, you can, but it'll result in punishment by the parent (if not serious).

Teehee enjoy my essay

*(For 1 and 2, I used to think my parents were narcissists, but they aren't AT ALL. It was because I forced myself to believe it. I was so upset and was not okay at the time. My parents tried to help me but it made me a bit more sad. Wanting comfort, I basically forced google to give me articles about narcissists by searching "WHY DID MY PARENTS TAKE MY TABLET I NEED HELP" or "MY PARENTS HATE ME". I was overreacting. I'm not trying to invalidate your feelings or anything if you're not feeling good about your parents, I just wanted to share)

lol

"A disorder in which a person has an inflated sense of self-importance."

"Symptoms include an excessive need for admiration, disregard for others' feelings, an inability to handle any criticism, and a sense of entitlement."

Basically, very arrogant people.

:)

imo, everyone has to respect each other no matter the age. people are just really immature if they say stuff like "respect your elders," etc.

I dunno man, adults are more wiser because they’ve experienced things

And Gen z is pretty broken rn

But the FACT that they refuse to listen to you and side with your SPOILED YOUNGER BROTHER
