I Respect The People Who Deserve To Be Respected

I think the opinions of the 13-15 age group are as valid as those of any other group. Many of the posts made by the youngest members here are amongst the most interesting that I have read. They are also frequently amongst the most mature, albeit often with a certain intellectual naivety, which I tend to find refreshing.
The replies they get are usually dismissive and disrespectful, I would have expected that those who have greater life experience would be more supportive. The accumulated knowledge of those of us who have lived longer may be greater but IQ tends to be much higher when we are younger.
If a person is wrong, educate them don't belittle them. That should apply go anyone regardless of their age.

I very much agree. I hate people patronising or talking down to the young. Are they too embittered to remember how they felt at that age?

@alan20 my, my...aren't you a good role model...hating people for a reason like that....calling people senile because they get annoyed sometimes at rude kids who talk to you....someone decades older than them...as if you're a moron. Good job

@Fernie Don't hate the people, Fernie, but the patronising that some people do. There is a difference. And rudeness is much more likely to come from older people than from the young.
