Everyone is always spewing the platitude, “respect your elders,” blah, blah, blah. In my humble opinion, this is an outdated term. The saying fails to acknowledge younger people as human beings deserving of respect, and in the absence of that sentiment, most people have completely written off children. Youth and respect don't fall into the same category. Oh, an adult broke a boundary with you? Too bad, they're allowed to. So-called “elders” will try to justify this expression by giving anecdotal examples about how kids are unable to handle equal respect because they think they can do whatever they want, but why do a few sour stories have the weight to write off respect completely? That's a bit much, don't you think?
