Why are manners not a "thing" anymore??

@Lonelybutneveralone: it wasn't like that when i was either, just recently... My children are respectful and "mind their manners" .. for the most part. But they are only 8 and 5.. I do agree with you, something happened and the world is different.. if you think about it, the farther our technology goes, the worse it gets. The whole world needs to take a digital break! (As I sit on my bed looking at my phone lol)

@Manderz88: lol!!! You put the biggest smile on my face with that last comment. I see it everywhere I go, people texting sitting next to others texting. Everyone in their own little world. We played outside as a boy, spent time with family often. Now days there's so much missing.we were taught manners,respect others. My parents wouldn't let me act the way so many people act these days.so many latch key kids because a parent has to work long hours to pay the bills. Too much outside influence, nasty things on the tube,etc
