I heard a story about an adult putting a young lady on the spot by asking personal questions that have nothing to do with what she does for the young lady and are frankly - no business of hers. You hear so much (and frankly sometimes see) how children are disrespectful to adults. Although I have never parented I would think it would but be a huge challenge to teach respect even when the child knows they are being disrespected yet still they remain respectful. I have to hand it to Mom and Dad in this situation... they raised a young lady who knows how to stand up for herself and keep respect top of mind. I have never met her but I feel so proud to know her. I hope that she realizes that pushing back will make her life a little less uncomfortable but will make those "behind" her... not have to experience the immaturity of this "adult". I think when a young person/child pushes back they think it is only for them but I don't think they realize the number of those that they will save from the wrath of the adult. She took care of herself... and equally as important - she will take care of those who this "adult" could potentially put in the same position. Perhaps those little ones are not as confident to respectfully push back. Nothing like a strong young lady who takes matters into her own hand - respectfully.
Viva her Mom & Dad... Viva her courage!
