I must admit that I am not an American, so I don't know if the situation over there is really that bad that when making a request like this men must fear for their lives. I think it wouldn't have been inappropriate at all to ask the boy to make himself decent as he is in a public area. He would probably be more emberrased than angry but that's all just my guesses really. I don't see wearing baggy clothes as a sign of lack in respect, it's a fashion thing. Do you think it is respectless when people wear a cap? or when people wore denim Levi jeans... whas that because they wanted to show their dislike to their elders or was it just to fit in... to be trendy? So my point is, get over it. You are misinterpretting the whole bagginess. And next time try to make a decent respectfull comment in a situation like that. Don't fear the kids, but love them enough to correct them when necessary.
Just my opinion,

Right you are!!
It's not the baggy pants at all that bothers me. As a matter of fact, believe it or not, I like them along with the long T-shirts, caps, boots or sneakers. They DO look cool!
The 13-year-old boy and other teens like him have no regards for respect whatsoever when it comes to wearing such attire! It is as though he just blatently threw out the rule book and is doing whatever he damn well pleases, whenever he pleases.
Just who is he and others trying to impress by doing that? Is that his way of trying to score a win for a girl? The way that he's showing his butt to everyone, he might just as well be telling everyone to kiss it!!!
