http://www.ihla.com/life/rudeness/ or how I see the world now that I'm over the hill Sun, 04 Oct 2009 20:53:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 http://www.ihla.com/life/rudeness/comment-page-1/#comment-90 Rhonda Sun, 04 Oct 2009 20:53:08 +0000 http://www.ihla.com/?p=102#comment-90 I think it is increasing. Unfortunately current parents are not teaching kids manners such as holding the door for people older than themselves, saying "Please" and "Thank You" and other things I grew up knowing as a kid. My teenagers' teachers are always commenting on how my kids know their manners and respect others. I grew up in the South and lived in Oklahoma most of my life. I currently live in Kansas. Luckily I have noticed that the South and some of the Midwest still have some people who know their manners.America seems to become a place where people think of themselves first and don't seem to have empathy for others, which is very sad. It's not just "the problem with the teenagers", I've noticed. It is a problem with the things their parents are teaching them and letting them become. I think it is increasing.
