Don't you hate how adults act like children sometimes? Don't you hate when adults talk crazy to you and they expect you to do nothing about it? I know alot of people do,signally me. That really irritates me. I know alot of "adults" feel they can say or do anything to children and the children won't say or do anything back,well I'm not one of those kids.
I have been raised to always respect adults,but I've also always been brought up on the words "You've got to give respect to get respect." With that being said,I'm not one of those teens who just sit there and deal with adults attitudes and hostile behavior,especially if they aren't family. I've had plenty of confrontations with adults where they've tried to take advantage of their authority and act crazy towards me and believe me they got the shock of their lives when I got crazy with them too. I've even had to fight a few adults for trying to beat me up,that didn't work out too good for them. Then,majority of the time they try to use the excuse "I'm the adult and you're the kid,you're not grown."....sooo what,was that suppose to make me cry or something?? Just because i'm younger than you,doesn't mean that you can just treat me anyway. I don't mean to be disrespectful,but when I get mistreated I don't just sit there and take it.
I also hate how some adults act extremely immature. They tell us to grow up and act our age,but they act worse than us. I don't understand that. For instance,once I had a cousin named Tasha who went around gossiping to others about some of my other family members to cause conflict. Then,she tried to come over to me and tried to tell me about being mature and things. I gladly told her that she needs to grow up before she can tell anyone about being mature. I mean how are you going to be close to your fifties' acting like you're in middle school? I mean I've met kids a little younger than me who don't act like that. People need to act their age and get it together and I say that to not only adults but to young adults/teenagers also. I'm not trying to attack adults,i'm just simply saying that they have to set an example for us and the younger people and being immature and disrespectful is not the way to do it.

I really like this blog because I can really relate to the sitution and I have witnessed and been in many cases simular to this one.Its unfair that adults think just because they have that title they can do whatever they want to do.
ReplyDeleteThanks cierra and that's what i'm sayng.Just because you have authority,doesn't mean you have to abuse it.
DeleteI also agree. I don't believe in double standards. I also believe that teachers are the model of professionalism. In speaking and in decorum. Now I will tell you this- I'm not going to tolerate a child coming at me as if they are grown because I will show a child really quickly who is the adult and who is not. I try not to, but I have also learned that being nice to all students is not possible because some kids brought up in poverty take kindness as a weakness. There is research that corroborates that statement. It's really hard to maintain the fine line, but it is really not ok jst to talk crazy to a young adult for no reason and expect them to still respect you.
ReplyDeleteYes,it really isn't ok to just talk crazy to a young adult for no reason and expect them to still respect you. However,I understand your point Ms.Day that it's totally disrespectful for a child to just talk crazy to an adult and for no reason. Of course,some students just take kindness for weakness and try to challenge the teachers and that is a very rude behavior for them to exhibit.
