Courtesy is defined as a general politeness,good behaviour and attitude towards

other people.Being courteous is a good manner which can help us to develop better
relationships and make us more enjoyable to be around.Most people in our society
young or old have forgotten that courtesy is still a huge factor to being a decent
human being.There are a lot of people who just do not care about how they portray
themselves to the world.Courtesy is something that still needs to be taught for
school,work and life in general.As the saying goes, courtesy costs nothing but buys
everything.However,teenagers are said lacking manners nowadays.So,here are some
ways on how teenagers can improve this issue.
Firstly,we must have good conversational etiquette.When we meet someone that
we know,we must greet him or her politely.For instance,say “Good morning” or even
a simple “Hello” with a smile on face.Whenever we require for help,start by saying
the word “please”.This can show that we are not demanding the person to do things
for us.Once someone completes the task that we asked them to do, respond by saying
“thank you” to show our appreciation for what they did .Besides that,we must listen to
other people without interrupting them.When another person starts talking,we have to
pay attention to what they are saying so that we can carry on the conversation.Come
rain or shine,we need to avoid trying to talk over them or cutting them off since we
will come across as rude.
