I presume we're talking about children disrespecting parents (and not parents who are disrespectful). LOL I hate it! I'm from the "old school" and you don't disrespect parents. The Bible is very clear about it too: Ephesians 6:1 "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right." Simple as that. Couldn't have said it better myself. There are lots of other scriptures that talk about respecting your parents as well. I especially like this one (since I'm gray): “You shall stand up before the gray head and honor the face of an old man, and you shall fear your God: I am the Lord." Leviticus 19:32 That'll put you in your place real fast!
I loved my parents and I wish I still had them around to lavish them with respect. It seems that the younger generation is missing out by not respecting their parents, and their elders. Respect doesn't seem to mean the same anymore in our society. Being disrespectful in any society or situation is not appropriate. There is ALWAYS another way to handle a situation, you just have to be respectful enough to see it.
