I totally a...Thanks for your kind words and reply.<br /><br />I totally agree with you, Krystal. I want to be treated friendly and so I treat others. I have learned to be polite, to say "please" and "thank you", and to listen when someone else talks. I know that there are lots of guys who use this good nature, because they only love and care about themselves. They think they can do everything, and everyone just loves them.<br />I really hate such selfish people. My parents once told me, that if I do anything bad, it will come back. Maybe not now, but it will come - maybe when I least expect it.<br />Teachers are role models, but so are the parents. I think if they only think about themselves and don't care about their kids, no one should wonder when they'll do it like their parents.<br /><br />I also looked up to my teachers like you, and yes I agree that students have less respect these days. Sometimes I feel like some of them wants to prove how 'great' they are by being rude. That they dare to say any bad words to them or are set to arguing. I hope this will change again. Being a teacher is not an easy job, and under these circumstances, I appreciate even more what they do.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your opinion.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15594693316107489208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6775935927973266814.post-48473572816129774732012-06-20T12:31:52.053-07:002012-06-20T12:31:52.053-07:00Yes, I agree with you Tina. Times have changed. So...Yes, I agree with you Tina. Times have changed. Some years ago it was certainly different than now, e.g. like how to greet people or how to talk to someone who is older than you. Some things change but some things also remain. In Germany we use the formal 'Sie' when we talk to someone we don't know that well, like a business partner. We also say Mr and Ms and add the last name, instead of using the first name. But more and more young guys just say the first name, even though they don't know that person. Some older people say that's rude, but the young guys don't think anything bad when saying this. This is one of the things that are changing now. The "please" and "thank you" will remain.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your opinion with me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15594693316107489208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6775935927973266814.post-65385540734435126392012-06-19T08:12:13.572-07:002012-06-19T08:12:13.572-07:00You seem like a very mature young woman.

It seems there are many manipulative and selfish people who don't care, about anyone but themselves and what they have. But there are so many lovely people out in the world to get to know and I want to be a person with manners and treat people with respect and kindness so I taught my children that also. I would not blame teachers for chldren's behavior but they certainly have the opportunity to be role models. I know a lot of grown adults who have teachers to thank for caring about their education and being a good peer who encouraged them when their parents were lacking in that. I really looked up to my teachers in school and I feel like some of that respect is gone for some kids and teachers have a hard time. Do you agree?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16288842067954888301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6775935927973266814.post-75680021128866644452012-06-15T11:33:41.695-07:002012-06-15T11:33:41.695-07:00I don't think the young people are polite in t...I don't think the young people are polite in the same way as when I was their age. I was taught to say "ma'am" and "sir" when I was talking with an adult woman or man. I had to say it even to my parents. And always "please" and "thank you." I don't hear young people say the "ma'am" and "sir" as much, even in the U.S. South. I"m not sure if that is less polite or just different. I think manners should come chiefly from the parents. And a good rule of thumb is to treat others the way we want to be treated. Great post, Sanny!Tina Fariss Barbourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15659018994558471570noreply@blogger.com
