to be honest i think it is up to us parents how we bring them up. my son who is 16 years old, is raised to respect people. he goes to school and sees not so good things that happen there ie alcohol, cigarettes and disrespect, but i am so proud to say that he has not picked up any of those 'yet'. i am just hoping that he will continue to be as good as he is now. we give him as much love and support, we also make sure that he can talk to us.

i think wherever children are raised there is always aspect of picking up bad behaviour, even back home in the philippines, kids now adays are not as polite and as good as before.
