I have noticed a lack of respect in the kids I've encountered for people older than them. I've seen kids kicking and screaming and manipulating their parents to buy them something they really want, regardless of the fact that they're barely 5 years old. I've seen kids blatantly disrespect authority figures (teachers, parents, siblings etc.)I've also noticed that kids are maturing faster, even though they may not be able to handle it. I think that's the main problem. You see these 8 year olds thrust into the world with their phones and iPads and how do you expect them to react? They're kids, so naturally they'll pretend they're the center of the universe and you're some puny being who should submit to them.But I also agree with what Eeko said, that this is just the 'vocal minority', and you just tend to notice them more because they're louder. From my experience, a majority of the kids I've met are quite likeable and treat me with respect, as I them.also please excuse the grammar its 2 AM and i be sleepy
