Respect listens before speaking. When you give others space to share their thoughts, you learn more and earn their trust. In a group project, for example, you pause to hear everyone’s idea before deciding on a plan.”Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.” — James 1:19
Respect protects, not mocks. Standing up for someone who’s being ignored or teased shows you value people, not popularity. If a classmate is laughed at for an answer, you back them up instead of joining in. “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up….” — 1 Thessalonians 5:11
Respect starts at home. If you can’t respect your parents, you’ll struggle to respect others. “Honor your father and your mother.” 5th Commandment
