offensive words
I don't think that anyone has said a word to me that has offended me because in most cases I knew that they were joking, and people who had said this words where close friends or family. I once told one of my little cousins who is about 14 who was trying to act all grown up and disrespectful towards her parents that she was still a child and that no matter how old she was she should always listen to them and to please act like her own age but by her face expressions that she made when I told her that she was still a child I could tell that she was offended and she even told me that she was not a child that she was grown, but anyways from this experienced I learned that kids don't like to be called kids or child or little because they will find it offensive.

Don't YOU find it offensive if someone calls you a child? It implies that you're stupid and simple minded. It's a negative stereotype that needs to be rid of. Fourteen is young still yes, but a teenager is NOT a child. It was not your place to try and discipline that kid. Leave the discipline to the parents. They know more about the situation than you do. There may be an aspect you're not seeing and stepping in without knowing could be detrimental to what they're (the parents) trying to achieve.
