I Think Children Should Respect And Obey Parents

Well here in the south you better address adults properly.. That means 'yes sir' 'no sir' 'yes ma'am' 'no ma'am. My parents expect this from me, all the time. I know kids that dont have to but to be honest I am too used to it now :P

But what if we weren't taught things like the difference between using can and may? Or addressing adults? Cause I was taught to be polite and have manners, but it's not as strict.

@SBelle: Quite possibly Countrygirl is not authentic but it does seem to me, as an Englishman, that there is still more respect for their elders in the South of the USA than is generally in the Global Village.

@ArtieKat: We were taught well but our lives were simple and carefree. Only a bully would treat their kids like this,
