So why do parents, teachers, and adults get to demean and belittle kids or teens and call it Discipline. But when a child steps up to defend themselves they consider it disrespectful? They just expect us to give them respect. Just hand it over to them like they're a god or something. I believe in respect earned. You cannot just throw me in a classroom or an office and expect me to automatically praise you. think of it as a form of reciprocation. Give what you shall receive in return.
