I was just at the window of my next door neighbor, she was having a discussion with her 17 year old daughter, and I was saying good morning, when her daughter saw me at the window she begin to call me nosey, and a B I T C H, needless to say, I was livid, I actually have never been spoken to like that by an adult let know a 17 year old... OOHHHH, I am really heated..I wish I could whip her BUTT but I am an adult..an old adult.... Whats your take...her mother did apologize for her behavior...I have been nothing but extremely nice to that family...

I think you just have to be patient with the girl since she is immature and still a teenager so she doesn't clearly know what is right and what is wrong, maybe just forgive her out and if you do time will come that she will apologize to you because she did something wrong that she didn't realize was back then she'll just be looking at the things that happened before. Just don't let her get into your head and relax and stay kind with her family instead.

Well, if i am you, i am not happy also. That girl is 17 already, she is not a small kid, she is really unpolite. However at least the mother dis apologize for her child behavior. Then you can "ignore" this time. But if it happens many times, the mother should do care more with her child, it is not good when a child is too unpolite with the adults.

She is 17, so she is so close to being an adult that someone might just give her what's for some day. They might end up in jail, but there are some folks that won't play with that kind of mess. For a kid or adult that kind of language is uncalled for. Seems to me that kids like that don't have any upbringing. They are allowed to run rampant and do what they want. I've been cursed out by a 3 year old in the same way.. I was called a Honkey by a 3 year old in Brooklyn last year.

Make her apologize, Gifts. You might tell her she has to apologize and mean it. She might even be made to do some 'community service' for her actions. Her actions should have consequences. I bet if you called the law and explained what is going on and you want her to do some community service to learn some respect, I bet they would direct you. My guess is thought that you would protect her rather than out her about her behavior to the cops and the department of family and children's service. She needs to know there are repercussions for her actions. If she were my kid and she did half the stuff she has done at your house, she would sit in jail for a few months.

I think it is totally disrespectful. I have a friend who has a 19 year old daughter who is totally disrespectful with her and I always tell her she needs some discipline, I know she is an adult but shes still at home so that mean she needs to obey rules. And no matter what u should always be respectful with your partents.

Oh! that is too much... I think it depends on the upbringing... I have remembered when I was strolling with my 2-year old son when an old woman past by. I did not say a word to the old woman but my son smiled and said "lola" (grandma). I was so happy that my son greeted an unknown woman by saying "lola" (grandma).

Hello sir, I am a teen exactly her age and I see whats the matter here. I myself had bad mornings but for her it might be worse. Being frustrated and annoyed she might have wanted to be alone for a while which her mom ruined and that's when you interrupted (not really but according to girl you were interrupting) and that was the reason for her inappropriate behavior. Now you being an old adult I just hope you forgive the girl and hold on to your good relationship with your neighbor.

True but that's what I interpreted from what you said. Calling you sir was just a respect since you said you were quite older than me. :) Have a nice day!

I say someone needs to teach her some manners. I do not remember if I have ever been cursed by a child. It certainly would not have been my child and they would have learned their manners when they were much younger. On the other hand, I have a great niece that I tried to raise while her mom drove a truck and she was subject to my discipline and she still would have screaming tantrums at school and other places. I had to have her mom come home and find another job as I could not handle her and I was very angry all of the time. I see on Yahoo news that in various parts of the country little kids are being arrested and handcuffed for things that child did while living with me.

My granddaughter has cursed me out. I had guardianship of her and she swore alot. My grandson does. He has a moood disorder and when he gets angry he will call me names. He comes back later and apologizes. He and I are the same sign and we have quite a bond.

I haven't yet met one brave enough and hopefully never will. Its no reason to speak rudely to an adult, but perhaps she thought that you had been spying and she got annoyed.

To me, she was plain disrespectful. Has she been arguing a lot with her mom? Some teenagers have this type of typical behavior, which signify rebelliousness.(Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.) I would also be curious, if she has mental and psychological disorders, but that is none of my business. Not that, rebellious, disrespectful teenagers need to have some kind of disorders.

I’ve had a similar experience in my neighborhood but not quite as dramatic. I tend not to want to associate with people that behave like that unless they apologize themselves. I am not sure of all the situations (name calling sometimes has very little justifications) but I think she wants privacy and therefore she and her mother should seek that somehow away from view. You could take pictures and if asked tell them it is for you private photo album of memories if you should ever move someday?

Yes I have. My son has cursed a time or two, but I told him to not do that when he was younger. It is not nice, and they do deserve to be punished. Children have to learn somehow.

My take is from that of a 22 year old, who is NOT jumping to the conclusion that this happens often with her. First off. I do understand where you're coming from, but no one seems to be taking the daughter's side, therefore I am. Is this a one time thing, or has it happened more than once? People tend to lash out when they have a bad day. That probably was a private conversation the daughter didn't want heard and took your presence the wrong way. I know I have done that. Times have changed, instead of that getting a three day suspension from school, it only gets a verbal reprimand. If a movie has that one or four times it only gets a PG-13 rating instead of R. Games that would've be forbidden from stores maybe even 15 years ago, are now proudly on display. Seriously. Go read the reviews for Grand Theft Auto, one of the most violent games I've seen. It's very common. Granted I would bristle at being called that but I wouldn't want to beat that person over it. 17 is not a child. A child is 13 or younger. I have heard language like that from someone like that and have heard worse. I hear nearly everyday when I go to the library from adults. That's my take on it, yell at me if you like. Before you do it let me tell you this. I can say whatever I want. I can say what you don't want to hear, or what you do want to hear. If that pisses you off fine, it does. Evidently you don't understand that society is now more accepting. Just as it is about women wearing pants, or two piece bathing suits, or women working instead of staying at home and raising the kids.

Kiya, I appreciate your response, and you are entitled to your opinion...but i see you are a new mylotter and therefore not familiar of this on going sceniro.... First a child is between birth and adult...17 is definately not grown..obviously you are unaware of that fact. I am not going to yell at you, for what reason would I do that? But neither will I continue this explanation with you. thanks for your response....
