I think as we get older and with hindsight Uzzi, we would all do things a little differently with regards to the way we were when young, but the youth of today do seem a lot more disrepectful towards their parents and adults in general, teachers especially I think. As we are mainly a product of the parenting we got, it's down to the previous generation who have often indulged their children too much and not encouraged respect and discipline and sadly unless the trend changes, this attitude will continue.

However there are many young people who are kind and caring and appreciative and I am sure they outweigh the ones who are less so. Maybe eventually some of the wayward ones will mature and become better people in time to bring their kids up in a different way.

I am sure your parents understood that you were grateful for many aspects of your upbringing, and if not then, they are now!

Today for reasons untold I have given a thought to my upbringing. I understand how many thanks I owe to my parents that I never gave to them whilst they were living.

I wish I could tell todays youth about respect for the people that love them but sadly they will only realise as I have after they have departed.
