You know what. Everyone wants respect..right? Especially older people. They think that because they've been on the earth longer..they deserve more respect..because they know more and shit. But you know what. All those people, who think they deserve more respect, have it be a person who makes alot of money, an older person, or your parent, fact is they all want such high respect, but they don't return it. How on earth are we suposed to ever achieve world peace, if people can respect one another. To get respect you give it, to old, young, rich or poor. It shouldn't matter what category you are in, you deserve respect for being a person. For existing. Thats how we achieve peacefulness. Honestly, look at older people who judge all teens as being rebellious hooligans..and then treat them all like crap, I certainly don't respect those people. I mean they were a teenager once to. Duh? Like cops and shit, people wonder why we have no respect for them, they are hard on all teenagers.. who then rebel and treat them with no respect. [and I'm not singling out cops, or categorizing them as all bad, i've met some cool cops who helped me out.. but some cops or transit cops are harder on kids..no matter how nice you are to them.. trust me.. i know] It's a sick sad cycle. To get respect give it. Is that such a hard thing to process? [ i think to much, i thought of this while blow drying my hair? get a life kelli ]
