Description
By Alex J. Packer, Ph.D.
Here’s an etiquette book that teens will want to read because it keeps them laughing, doesn’t preach, and deals with issues that matter to them. Blending humor and sound advice, it provides practical tips on the world of manners from A (“Applause”) to Z (“Zits”).
The book begins by explaining why etiquette is important – because people who know how to handle themselves in social situations come out on top, get what they want, feel good about themselves, and enjoy life to the fullest.
Fourteen chapters describe the basics of polite behavior in all kinds of situations at home, in school, and in the world. Teens learn how to be a host with the most (and a guest with the best), what to do (and not do) when going online or waiting in line, how to deal with rude relatives, how to act at the mall and the concert hall, how to make introductions, who invented manners, and much more.
Hundreds of “Dear Alex” questions and answers cover everything from dating to breaking up, thank-you notes to table manners, ethnic jokes to social cliques, skateboarding to celebrating. Survey results reveal what teens, parents, and teachers think about manners and why they’re important.
