Respect - a feeling of deep
admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or
achievements.
Dear adult, I would like to be shown
some respect. The same respect I show you, it is only fair. I would like to
converse with you in a civil manner, without you screaming down my throat.
Screaming is not good for your throat anyway, and your message gets across just
fine in a normal tone. The higher your tone gets, the less I hear what you have
to say.
The generation that I am growing up
in, speaks in colloquial English. We call it slang, I rarely use it though.
Dear adult, please do not speak with me using slang. When you do, you come off
as trying too hard. You probably think that it is a way of relating to our
generation but really it does not appeal to the most of us. Plain English would
be just fine. Still on the topic of conversation, my input even though I am a
teenager is just as valid as that of an adult. I find it funny that after an
adult has repeated the exact words I would have said you will take them more
seriously than me. The mouth that these words are being spoken from should not
determine the validity of the statement. You should also acknowledge the fact
that you are sometimes wrong. It's a normal occurrance in humans you know.
I would like to feel comfortable and
heard when having a conversation. Yes you have lived longer than I have, and
have therefore been through more of life's many experiences. However I want you
to listen to what I have to say, please. Conversation should not always be
about you,or your life experience and how they will benefit me. Stop trying to
live through me, I would like to experience life for myself. Yes, with your
guidance, but not through you.
Dear adult, I do appreciate you, I
just want us to communicate better.
