2. Younger people have to speak with polite forms of sentences to the older ones here. Just one year difference in ages makes this relationship.
platonic college-level exchange of silly poetry, the standard pre-marital courtship
Age doesn't mean anything, position means everything.
If someone is above you in rank/ paygrade/ position you have to be polite and respect them.
it's not really any different, you change how you talk around old people but its more the same way you change how you talk if theres a weird really Christian person to not cause friction for no reason
we don't talk outside our age or friend group

There's a sentiment these days that younger people are very disrespectful towards their seniors and I think there is some merit to it. It really depends on how you're raised. Personally, I try to be respectful of my elders because I don't want to cause friction and they are people who can get bent out of shape really quickly. Plus I also work with old people and I don't need them bitching about me to my managers.
Usually people here try to be polite with elders, if they're not some chav faggots or not hating them personally. By "elders" i mean 10+ years between them.
then how do you make friends in the first place?
Amongst their age, i suppose.

In Texas, and most of the South, there's a huge emphasis on respect to elders.
If you were young and were addressing someone older than yourself, ESPECIALLY in a superior social position, you addressed them as Sir or Ma'am.
I moved to Colorado though, and no such thing exists here.
yeah that's part of the reason I left Texas - blind loyalty to social hierarchy. But in the vast majority of our country the idea that of blind deference to elders is not really followed. To OP's point, English doesn't really have a vernacular pertaining to gender or certain levels of respect like you'd see in Japanese or French. There's polite speaking but something that is distinct from normal vernacular.
I tell’em to fuck off if they bug me ;) gentle as a lamb if they’re respectful
What tje fuck gross
>blind loyalty to social hierarchy
Not who you responded to but I agree with you. I will speak with respect when you have earned my respect.

Holy fuck you nigger zoomers, you respect elders for age and experience, and then you get it in return when you're older

Well of course. But on a PERSONAL level of respect, you have to earn that shit with me.
