I think that it is usually a communication barrier. In many of my experiences is seems that adults expect respect from their children, but do not show it to them in return. Many parents seem to demand the respect because they are the parents, end of subject. However, if the parents do not show the children respect, where will they learn it from? Also, teens are at a point in their life where they are discovering themselves, and many parents don’t realize they are also being discovered for the people they are as well. When the teens were younger mommy and daddy could do no wrong, but as they get older they see their parents as people too not just Mom and Dad. Usually this is a very hard time for both teens and parents. Also I do think that media and the people the kids hang out with will play a major role in how respectful children and teens are. Everyone should help in the effort to change this respect issue by setting good examples in everyday life.
