How do you present yourself before them? How do you look physically too? If you're sure the way you carry and present yourself is befitting of your age and worthy of respect, and they still disrespect you despite that, then you may talk to them gently and properly concerning that and advise them on better conduct. Or you just ignore them especially if you feel trying to talk to them can worsen the case...  13 Likes 1 Share |

Back then in one bank and multinational telecomms company in Lagos,company culture was to call EVERY ONE by name. Nothing like Sir or Ma were strictly forbidden. The CEO, Directors,all Managers, Supervisors and Team Leads na Andy, Mukhtar, Akin, Chima,Modupe Moshood we dey call ourselves. It helped transparency and broke down barriers in communication. In the US my landlord was around 56 and I was in my 30's . He felt very very offended and told me to stop calling him Sir. Na so I begin call elderly man Wilbur and him wife Debby. Adjust and get used to it. it will be for your own benefit if you want to play and thrive in a global corporate environment. But within family settings, I no like am at all. Your elder na your elder. Like my woman's younger sisters that I senior with 10- 15 years calling me by name because we dey America. I thank God sey my children don dey talk. They will get the same treatment from my kids Insha Allah. Then I will remind them and their parents that " We are in America." 45 Likes 4 Shares |

I don't think you should take the fact that they call you by your name too serious but don't entertain any form of disrespect. Also, respect yourself. 4 Likes |

Oga please loosen yourself a bit... It won't cost you anything honestly... You are all students.. And there are peculiar ways people who were branded as students behave no matter the age.. While you are a student, please behave like one.. too much of uptight in the name of seniority will make you not to enjoy the institution... Though you should also carry yourself in a dignified manner... You will respect yourself yes.. but for the love of God, stop looking for people that will bow down to u... If u continue like this, Your isolation is looming buddy... Believe it or not, it's not great to be a social outcast because of superiority complex... 7 Likes |

Age is not always an evidence of maturity. Don’t be too bothered about such. If you find the boy offensive, avoid encounters with him. Same with the girl. This does not mean that you should be arrogant or you ignore either of them, if they reach out. Don’t go about becoming bitter and angry. You would figure your own circle, they can be young, yet respectful and cordial. If you carry yourself in a dignified manner, you can become so much more to this young boys. It is you that have to improve your absorber in how such interactions offend you. If you want respect anywhere, earn it. But the way to earn it, is not by alienating yourself, or by coercing fear. It’s by being responsible, by being cordial. Spend more time developing yourself. Studying and praying. 1 Like |

UnusualEmissary: Nailed it bro Guys don't have much problem once you know how to present yourself and carry yourself with air of respect (not pride Sha). I had some men in there 40s while I was in my early 20s on campus. We call some of them by their names but you'll see the signs of respect there. Do you interfere whenever they converse? Do you joke unnecessarily with them? Do you taunt females with them? What kind of communication do you have with them? 2 Likes |

All of u are students. Park ur respect and zip it inside a bag. U can only bring it out when u leave the school gate. That is why it is called Higher institution. Ur type will find it difficult to learn from ur younger coursemate that is more intelligent than u. Until u bang carryover, that is when u will understand ur purpose in the university. 1 Like |

brightmorningst: That's the diversity you must adjust to in university. They are now your mates. Mate is not only age, you have room mates, class mate, work mate, money mate, business mate etc. Don't worry, when you start looking for job and your son's mate is the CEO, you won't say all these childish things. You may even call him daddy No go join cult oh, this one you're looking for who will be calling you sir, bros, egbon, boss up and down. 2 Likes |

 Like someone said up there,this should be in the comedy section. How can a small boy expects another small boy to respect him when they are using the same hostel and bungalow? Respect yourself and go get a self contain outside campus... Make u dey dia dey claim seniority. Who seniority help for 9ja? This one never enter street na y e dey yarn rubbish online. If you enter street with this mentality,na small pikin go rubbish you if you pass your boundary. |

At least in my Uni days, we got a man who was 40+ in our department.. and we accorded him the respect that he deserves back then... We took pictures with him during our matriculation...He enjoyed and laughed at our silly banter and jokes in the class but doesn't contribute... Please take it easy with yourself... 3 Likes |
