bleh Monday. 4.5.04 11:24 pm The way some people in our school have been brought up simpy amazes me; so many have disgusting, revolting mannerisms. It would make Emily Post herself stick a finger to her throat. The other day in Health we were talking about manners. Mr. Wright was talking about something about going to someone's house for dinner. He then mentioned that it's rude, and unacceptable to salt [your] food before [you] try it, also that it is even worse to ask for ketchup. After Mr. Wright said that, I swear, more than half of the class asked, "Why? I do that all of the time." I was like, "Ohh, come on..." So Mr. Wright tries to explain why it's rude... that took a while. There's this girl I used to be really close friends with. She had the worst table manners in the world, and my friends and I would poke fun hoping it would encourage her to change her ways. She would sit on the chair like Gollum would, and eat with her fingers. It was embarrassing. From what I hear, she's still like this, which is sad. I hope she changes before she gets out into the real world, because she is a nice girl, she just has terrible manners. Another thing that I find disrespectful is the way teenagers think they can treat adults. I hear stories from friends who yell, swear and throw things at their parents. People who sacrificed, risked and put their dreams on hold to make our lives as best they could. Not only parents are treated like this, this goes for teachers, substitutes, and other authorities who are here for our personal achievements and goals. I don't know why this bothers me. It shouldn't, these aren't people I have to deal with on a daily basis. It's just kind of sad to see how our future is unrolling in front of our eyes, and most people don't even realize what their doing because it's become a daily routine of their lifes. This post was kind of sketchy. Maybe I'll fix it later on, maybe I won't. I don't know. I'm tired. 6 Comments. Crappy table manners seriously bother me. I used to be friends with this girl who NEVER chewed with her mouth shut, even if someone asked her to... She purses her lips like a fish to keep the food in her mouth. My mom actually refused to let her come to my house because it was THAT obnoxious... and the girl never did anything to change it. She was like 13 and some people refused to sit with her at lunch because it made it hard for them to eat. I have no idea what this world is coming to, but it's not pretty. » JustCallMeBinx on 2004-04-06 09:49:42 "Another thing that I find disrespectful is the way teenagers think they can treat adults. I hear stories from friends who yell, swear and throw things at their parents." I know a lot of kids whos parents have hurt them so much emotionally, that they'd do anything to get back at them... so they react physically, which might not be the smartest idea, but hey... we're still learning right? Don't be so quick to chastise... most of us still have a lot of lessons to learn, but I really value the opinion "People who sacrificed, risked and put their dreams on hold to make our lives as best they could." I think everyone needs to think about who affected their lives in such a way that they are a changed person. Even if your life was affected in a negative way by a person... most people grow from it. I believe that you should respect your parents for bringing you into the world and nuturing you thus far... but you don't necessarily have to respect the actions or behavior of that particular parent. » lillian (205.155.32.1) on 2004-04-06 01:28:13 hm. I know a lot of kids whos parents have hurt them so much emotionally, that they'd do anything to get back at them i never thought about that... but thanks for putting that out there... I directed this post mostly to people who don't have it so bad... for example, some kids take too much advantage of their parents. Most times, the parents let their kids take advantage of them to avoid the arguing. Just because they don't know what else to do, and their hopes that the kids will be happy in the end. Once the parents realize that they've made mistakes, and try to put down barriers and limits for a child's safety, the child gets mad. That was the only example I had in mind when I wrote that paragraph. Sorry for the mixup. » MorosePhoenix on 2004-04-06 07:00:07 well... so many kids have different relationships with thier parents... some are just thier kids, just an object they can control, therefore the kid thinks they are being mistreated and are snotty brats or whatever.... some are like thier babies FOREVER, some parents over-protect thier kids to the fullest extent, protecting them from everything so when its time to leave mommy and daddy they have no idea whats going on and they are frustrated witht hier parents for over-protecting them... and some are like thier friends, some kids and parents get along like friends, where it is just like you live with each other and there aren't "serious" talks or anbything like that. that might seem like they dont care but IMO thats the best way to raise a kid, let them make thier own mistakes, dont get in thier way and let them shoot themselves in the foot a few times » ¿broken_antler? on 2004-04-07 01:59:48 oh yeah.... San Francisco Giants.. 2-0.... its crazy, GO GIANTS » ¿broken_antler? on 2004-04-07 02:02:35 the point of this post wasn't how parents raise their children... but the mannerisms that the children withhold. it's just revolting and disgusting. » MorosePhoenix on 2004-04-07 10:26:46 Name.
