TEENAGERS; Would you respect an adult that acted like a 2 year old?

Question

I won't because if little kids see them behave that way, they can emulate it. How would an adult rant to you saying that you act like a baby when they act like one as well.

For example, my vice principal behaves like a little kid and no teenager respects him.

My former teacher doesn't let any disrespectful child gets to her and she just sighs and writes the kid up. That's an adult that I respect.

I respect adults that are mature and strong.

Any opinions?

Answer 1

totally agree with you

Answer 2

Of course not.

Nor would I have any respect for a teenager that pushes a grown man to act immaturely.

Teens and adults' definitions of immature are different....what exactly does he do??

The former teacher sighing and writing sounds like she got to the point she knows any effort to correct these kids is pointless.

Answer 3

i detest adults like that.

if they want me to behave, behave yourself

Answer 4

Nope I sure would not..

"Adults" In my opinion are based on maturatey.,

And 2 year olds are not.

There is a difference inbetween being Immature/childish and having a good time tho..

Answer 5

I am 23 and I have to be in close contact to two females that act like 2 year olds. They can't handle finances, they gripe about everything, they go out and party...it is so frustrating. I expect them to act more mature than my husband and I, but they expect to be able to act like college students or younger. Its' so annoying.

Answer 6

i agree.

Answer 7

I agree...adults are not supposed to act like little kids, I mean give me a break! I would never respect any one that acted like that....of course if it was the vice principal then i wouldnt outright disrespect him....but only bc my mom is HUGE on the respect thing and NO ONE would want to see what she looks like when she gets called up to the school because me or my sister did something!

Answer 8

the obvious answer is NO. = ]

Answer 9

Now way!. I cant stand it when they do that.!

Tell him to grow up or go back to first grade.

Answer 10

i agree with you somewhat.

however there are those times where I feel if I walk into a restaurant or a fast food joint and they are rude, or they seem like they don't want to work there, and they are lethargic at taking orders, I am rude to them anyway. Especially when I get lip about how I want my food made, it's their fault for working there.

Now, don't get me wrong, I am not saying everyone who works in the food business does that kind of thing.

Answer 11

in certain cases its fine to be an adult and act like a child, specially if you are around really young children, I'm 21 and get on the floor and roll around to amuse my daughter of 15 months, when she acts out though i step up and act like the adult and you would never see me acting like a child when I'm out in public. children and teens do have more respect for those who have authority and discipline but there is nothing wrong with being on a childs level when the situation permits, acting like a child all the time calls for no respect of that adult......

Answer 12
