Etiquette lesson in school for teens?
Do teens need etiquette lesson in school? Personally i do not think that teens need any etiquette lesson in schools. The lessons will not help them in their behavior if they have no wish to change their behavior. Apparently even students with rich backgrounds which parents have good etiquette might not behave the same way as their parents even if they were bought up that way.
It might be true that teens are getting less polite
these days, but most teens actually knows what they are doing is rude and ill-mannered. They carried on with their actions mainly because of they wanted to follow their friends actions or to "act cool".
Teens always think that acting like a gangster make them cool and more popular. And often gangsters have little social etiquette therefore this is a reason why teens are not behaving properly.
Yes, parents do play a part in building the social etiquette of their children when they are young and correcting them when they are not behaving properly in public. But most importantly for the teens to have the right behavior is their own mind set. If the teens minds how others look at them and think about them, they would definitely want to behave properly and decently to give others a right impression. And if the teens do not care about how others look at them they would just do what they wish and this will end up like what the teens in the photo of Stomp are doing, putting their feet on the seats.
In conclusion, teens do not need to have etiquette lessons in school as the most important factor for having a right behavior is their own mindset as they are definitely mature enough to determine the right behavior in public and how they are suppose to portray themselves.
