Show everyone basic respect regardless of age or status, not that complicated.
That's not my point, though. My point in making reference to the age thing is that even though they're old enough to be your parents, you should also respect them because they're wiser than you and they can teach you things that you don't already know. If they're displaying disrespectful actions, then don't use them as role models. That's like your parents telling you not to curse around them, even though they curse themselves.
These people that you're talking about are just ignorant, anyways.

- Taking away games/internet (aside from possibly schoolwork which would be supervised) for a portion of time
- If they get pocket money for being good, reducing or removing that for a week or other period of time
That's a good start, but then you gotta consider the kids that have drug problems, get physical with parents and teachers, join gangs... you know, all the bad things that could potentially happen.
