Why we need to have manners in our classroom

 In a classroom, manners is one of the most important things to have, to keep the cleanliness of the actual room. And to make sure people are safe and respected. Students and teachers alike. 

Without manners in a classroom environment things would turn to chaos. People would be bullied. The furniture would be disgusting and no one would be having a good time at all! 

When you go to school you expect decent things, maybe not an iron chandelier or endless break times. But decentness. Things like clean chairs or floors to sit on. People need manners to keep those decent thoughts alive. No one likes sitting in a disgusting grimy chair or a crummy yogurt stained floor. 

Another thing is when people are just rude. They know what manners are but they don’t use them. They do things for the benefit of themselves. Like not cleaning up their own mess, or shoving people out of the doorways, which happens pretty much every time we leave to get our bags. Everyone knows what it's like to be shoved out of a doorway. 

And while that's not nice. It's not the worst thing ever either. It's simply unpleasant, but things like that can actually get so much worse. Like if you get shoved into someone with a leg injury and they trip and hurt way worse than before! They could end up in hospital because of plain rudeness! 

This can also lead to triggering someone's mental illness. Getting up in someone's face and being rude and self concerned. People with anxiety could break down from the stress of someone being too absorbed in their personal bubble. Or have a panic attack. Which is a lot worse guilt then just leaving them alone and being polite

People saying things like ‘shame’ can actually really hurt or embarrass people and you don’t even know it! 

Being polite isn’t even that hard! Everyone does it! Just take a moment and be kind. People will complain that you are rude and selfish and you might feel guilty. It's called karma! If you want friends then be friendly! If you want a clean house then clean your room! It's really simple! Using harsh language doesn’t make you as cool as you think it does. When I see someone swearing their head off in public I don’t think

“Wow, they are so awesome and cool.” I think “They are disturbing the shared public space”

There are people in the world that will not take your rudeness well. Please just be a decent human being. That's all I ask. 

You don't need to be a hero, just be nice enough so that people will be nice to you. 

And what about when you go to college, it's not people's jobs there to guarantee you a career, or a future. YOU have to be the one to be organized and on time. If you want a job you can’t be rude and expect to get the job, if you don’t clean your mess, you’re fired. It's not your boss's job to take responsibility for you, in fact, it shouldn’t be anyones. No matter how old you are! We are not toddlers that need to be held and babied. We are capable of being good!

Clap for peoples achievements, dont talk when others are talking, pick up your own mess, don’t swear, respect the teachers who take us out to events, plan our school days and get everything ready on time, respect the teachers who give you second chances! 

Now I have listed all of my reasons as to why people should just use manners! It's easy, it's nice, it's also beneficial to you, just do it!
