Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Step1
Yesterday, I heard a show on sexual harassment on FM and I learned a new but very useful line over there.
Step2
There was a child who actually asked from the consultant, should we respect our elders??
Step3
He said very amazingly, NO. kid said, thank you. You know what was the importance of this line for that kid. Actually she was undergoing sexual harassment form one of her elder relative. She knew something was wrong, but she also was taught from the very beginning like all of us that RESPECT YOUR ELDERS. That’s why she never actually opened her mouth against all this.
Step4
Whomsoever she would ask, SHOULD WE RESPECT OUR ELDERS?? They would say, yes, and she remained mum for God knows how much time??
Step5
When she consulted with this gentleman and he said NO, YOU SHOULD RESPECT THE BEHAVIOUR, NOT THE ELDERS. This thing brought a new ray of hope in her life. She objected to all this and I hope, she would be out of this situation now although those dirty feelings and memories will continue for some more years.

on 7/24/2008 I think in general we should respect the elderly, but not their behavior.
This really makes me think too about this old concept!

on 7/21/2008 Interesting article. This is when parental guidance is a must! I teach my kids to respect their elders but I also reinforce that they should be respected also. No one is allowed to touch them inappropriately! If they feel violated in anyway, they know they can tell me and I will do something. Too many parents shy away from this subject thinking their children are too young. They are never to young to start teaching them! People who are out there wanting to exploit children prefer them to be "too young". Don't let your kids fall prey to these animals!
