Do teens need etiqutte lessons in school?

'Please' and 'Thank you' are basic etiqutte that everyone should adopt. When requesting for something, it is only right and gracious to say 'please' and 'thank you'. However, it is not the common lanaguage among young people these days. Young people may feel that practicing etiqutte is not cool and they don feel it a need to do so.

Teenagers do not have good manners when they talk to their teachers or parents. This may be due to the upbringing they have at home. In school, we see that teenagers are talking back at teachers, not respecting teachers or even scolding the teachers. Even when teenagers are with their family members, they are not behaving themselves.

Nowadays, teenagers lack the basic courtesy and manners. I believe that teens need to be taught etiqutte in school. Schools can start introducing etiqutte classes which can be conducted outside of cirriculum timings. It can be in a form of workshops where a speaker will talk to students about the importancy of practicing etiqutte. Students can also learn to practice etiqutte through case study given by the workshop. I believe that it can give them a better idea on etiqutte and how it should be carried out. I think that schools is the best way to improve students's etiqutte.

The society can be such a better place when the young people of the country can be gracious people who practice social etiqutte.
