How to Have Good Manners

 

 

• Don't laugh at someone when other people do! Be polite! If you laugh, it will really hurt their feelings.
• Good manners will never go out of style. They can only help you.
• Avoid blowing your nose in front of people while eating.
• When asking someone about a touchy subject, keep your voice the same that you would if you were asking about the weather. This shows that you're taking them seriously and will allow them to be more comfortable about answering.
• Never let your kids run around other people's homes because they might break or steal something.
• Do not get intimidated or embarrassed if your friends make fun of you for opening the door for a girl or helping an older person do something they cannot do alone. Instead, politely ask them why they didn't help the other person.
• One of the easiest ways to be well-mannered and substantial is to be silent and only talk when you have something important to say. This adds weight to your words.
• Never talk while another person is talking.
• Some people feel that being "mannered" is "fake" or unauthentic. Instead, realize that manners are normal and healthy social conventions that make interactions easier and more pleasant. Not every interaction is an opportunity to correct others. On their most basic level, good manners are the best way to put "The Golden Rule"(Do unto others as you'd have them do to you.)into action.
• Accept items graciously; establish eye contact, accept it with both hands, and say thank you!
