So yesterday a friend and I were out. We waited for a lift and an older woman waited behind us. When the door opened, I stood back and let her in first. In the lift, she said "Thanks, it's nice to see young men with manners for once"
And this got me thinking. Why do alot of teenagers in England treat old people like trash? We've all heard about it, teens attacking and mugging old ladies, breaking into old people's homes and robbing them.
How little respect do you have to have to do this? Though I do love hearing stories about when teens try to attack old people and get knocked the -blam!- out.
P.S Yes I'm aware it isn't the majority of teenagers.

I think it really has to do with society in general having a bias towards teenagers in general. So it's really hard to expect it to work the other way around in today's generation.
