Lately, some of my friends have been saying things that I would never say because I've been raised not to say such things. What do you think basic manners are and what do you do when people are what you consider very unmannerly and rude?

Alana's guide to politnes tongue.gif :
Use the "magic words".You have to mean it too. These words gain you respect. You wouldn't want to respect someone who said, "Sorry" as if it was a waste of their time.
Smile and be opened. When you seem opened, you put people at ease.
If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. Lying is something a lot of people do. My parents wanted me to be honest, so they said to either change the topic, say nothing at all, and if you must tell them the truth, tell it in the most polite form, but say what you mean.
Listen to others and respect their ideas. No use just breaking into a conversation and getting everyone confused. No body likes to see their ideas ridiculed.
Be considerate towards everyones feelings and personal belongings. Clean up after yourself. Try to hold back that sharp tounged comment.
