Hi there I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE TALIKING ABOUT, I MY SELF EXPERIANCE THAT SOMETIMES. I CAME FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY AND OUR CHILDREN WERE NEVER RUDE, BUT SINCE WE CAME TO THIS COUNRY THEY THINK IT'S OK TO BE RUDE JUST BECAUSE OF WHAT IS CALLED CHILDREN'S RIGHT WITH NO RESPONSIBILITY. I THINK PARENT SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO PANISH THEIR CHILDREN IN A APROPRIATE MANNER.

I am a single mum and I have eight children ranging from seven years to twenty four years. My fifteen year old son and twelve year old daughter both exhibit this rude behaviour it really upsets me but I try to keep in focus that it is only temporary and that they will eventually either grow out of it or leave home. I myself think that this rudeness is a result of too much knowledge and not enough understanding. They know all about their rights but very little about the responsibility that goes with those rights. My son refuses to go to school at times but I am the one who is made accountable and he knows that. He also knows that I can't physically force him onto the school bus and that corpral punishment is frowned upon. Children and teenagers are protected from the consequences of their actions or labeled . I get tired of teachers and other professionals making excuses for poor behaviour and rudeness. I came from a broken home and had problems growing up who dosen,t but I have never spoken to my parents the way my children speak to me.
