I will teach my kids manners.

< 본문 >

When I have my kids in the future, I will make sure to teach them proper manners so we can make this world a better place, one well-mannered kid at a time.

English On The Go

In the modern society, I feel like more and more kids are being raised without manners.

I worked at a restaurant for quite a long time,

and I have noticed that about 90 percent of all kids that I've served actually lack basic manners,

even such as saying “thank you” or “sorry” when they make a mess.

Sometimes they start running around the restaurant and screaming

and, you know, getting in the way of the servers, creating a potentially dangerous situation.

And their parents would sit still and not pay attention to that.

And that makes me a little sad because when I was a kid,

the first thing that I was taught is saying “thank you”

and making sure I respect other people's personal space and not scream in public and, you know, act like a lady.

So, I think when I have my kids in the future,

one of the first things that I will teach them is basic manners so they know how to properly treat other people around them.
