There’s a long list of things children can do that are considered disrespectful to adults. The list includes asking for a reason, being stressed in their vicinity, not calling them ma’am or sir, standing up for yourself when they make fun of you, and obeying them but not being happy about it.
But an adult can do almost anything to a child without it being considered abuse. Murder, rape, and a few other things are the only exceptions.
But children are the ones who feel entitled? Children are the ones who are out of control? Children are the ones who need to learn respect?
I am so fucking sick of the idea that standing up for yourself or trying to better understand what you did wrong is considered disrespectful. PEOPLE DESERVE RESPECT REGARDLESS OF AGE. Children are still learning about the world and guess fucking what so are you and you always will be.
