As soon as you stop worrying about people respecting you, you'll probably find that they start. Being concerned with such petty things means you're probably signalling that you're needy.
I completely disagree, sometimes people get caught up with the wrong sort of crowd for various reasons, you might get caught up by people who initially seem to be sweet but you later discover their mean side.
