Only a couple things I didn't agree with:

And people who swear loudly in public places. A friend of mine feels the need to swear at the top of her lungs when we go to the mall. It's absolutely humiliating. People aren't looking because they think you're cool. They think you're obnoxious, plain and simple. They think you're just an obnoxious kid unable to control your mouth. And then you complain that adults set too many restrictions. Well duh.
Depends on the reason for swearing. If it is just to be an idiot, yeah, it is annoying. If it is directly related to a conversation, such as:
"The store sold out of PS3s about an hour ago." or "Your logic board is fried."
"FUUUUUUUUUCK!! !! !! !! !!"
-This would be legitimate.
"Hey, look, there's a family with small children!"
"FUUUUUUUUUCK!! !! !! !! !!"
-This would be inappropriate.

4. People who are rude to elders.
I'm 15. And I was raised to think there is NO excuse to be rude to someone older then you. EVER. Unless they have SPAT on you and spited you in such a way that could lead you to maybe tell them off.
This is true...within reason. If I'm dealing with a professor that I have for a class, yes, I will generally respect them. If a professor (one I don't have a class with) comes up to me outside of class and talks to me (and others) like we are children, simply because he thinks he is hot s**t, then no, I don't owe him a damn thing. I will respect professors that care and do a good job, and that at least somewhat respect their students. I will not respect professors that think you are insulting them if you forget to call them "Doctor _____" since they have a PhD.
Age shouldn't be the main reason you are showing someone respect, or trying to not be rude to them.
