While it is horrible and digusting what they did, I really think that statement is pretty rude to say seriously. I hate when people make generalizations like that. I volunteer at an animal shelter, I worked all summer with adults and experienced many disrespectful ones, I think I respect adults, as long as they respect me that is. I don't care how old someone is, they don't earn my respect just because they're older then me, they need to be nice to me as well. I'm always polite to adults but when they're rude to me they don't get politness from me. It's just what they should expect. I never understood the statement "be nice to your elders". It should be "be nice to everyone". I really try to be nice to my parents but when they are rude or being stupid about something, I call them on it. I don't keep my mouth shut because they're simply older then me and this goes for all adults. I'll admit when I joined this forum in 2005, I was rude alot. I think I was stupid then but I have since come a long with respecting others opinions, etc. A majority of this forum is adults whom I respect all the time, because they respect me back. Adults who are rude shouldn't expect respect from kids simply because they are older. It shouldn't work like that.

It's not surprising someone said something like this, I experience stereotypes all the time. ESPECIALLY at work or at the shelter. Just because someone is an adult doesn't mean they have respect for others and morals. It's not only a "teen" thing.
