Of course we should respect elders. Even though we may feel that we have surpassed them in intelligence and in success, we will never make up for that time that they are already walking here on Earth while we were still unborn.

I was brought up to respect my elders, and I still do. I am bringing up my kids to do the same. But these days I have to fill in a little bit where my mom did not. I tell my daughter to respect them but not to always trust them. Just because I think that some adults have taken this respect to high levels to unsuspected youngsters that sometimes can lead to kidnappings, rapeings, ect. So I have sat down and talked with my kids about this, and to have respect.

Yes, I do respect the elders for we are here in this world because of them. Someday we will grow old too and for sure, we want to be respected by the youngster.

i respect my elders, but as for the younger generation, i think its really the way they have been brought up. todays kids are spoilt rotten and not taught about respect, they then think they can get away with everything and get what they want, it really is a shame.
