Obviously, you're in denial.

no disrespect intended. i tease everybody, and i dont care if people tease me back. you cant call me baldy though because i still have a full head of hair.

but understand that respect is not just given, it is earned.

you're older, so it's not going to seem like a big deal to you. to my grandparents, everything after the 70s is probably a big blur to them. but to suggest that someone your daughter's age understanding of the world is no different from today's teenagers is absolutely false. sorry
