disrespect

Disrespect means not showing respect or consideration for someone or something.

When we talk about disrespect, we usually mean that someone has been hurtful or rude to another person. For example, if a friend says something mean and unkind to you on purpose, that's an act of disrespect. You might also think of disrespect when someone breaks the rules or ignores others' feelings. It can be seen in words, actions, or attitudes, like mocking someone in front of their friends or refusing to listen to another person's ideas. Disrespect can happen anywhere, from schoolyards to workplaces, and it often makes people feel upset, hurt, or ignored.
