Introduction to Social Etiquette

Besides getting the perfect prom dress, there are many other things to think about. If you want your prom to be the best, and I'm sure you do, the first thing I want to talk about is etiquette. For many of you, the prom will be you first formal event. If that thought makes you uncomfortable, it's a clear sign that your socual graces could us improvement.
Etiquette...
...The word has all but disappeared from the English language of today, but at one time, it played a very important role in Western Civilization. Etiquette was how society would distinguish the educated, cultured, and high born from the rest of us riff-raff. In fact, improving your etiquette did much to advance your station in life. It can still do a log for you. Just consider what a fuss everyone makes over your friends with manners; Their "pleases" and thank you's," always gets a "Why can't you be more like...so and so?" from mom.
Regrettably, many teens have never attended a formal dance, and the prom may be the only one they attend for a while. Facing facts, many of you may never attend another formal dance. Lets try to make a good and lasting impression.
Nowadays, most people could use a little help in the manners and behavior department (and I'm being kind by using the works "a little"). This is not just because you are going to a prom but because you will soon find yourself in the real world. And I'm not talking about the MTV show. You'll be going on job interviews, taking business lunches, and other social functions where people will make determinations that effect your life based on, dare I say it... your etiquette.
General Etiquette Guidelines
Here are some general Guidelines that will help you in the manners battle ...or "common Sense" Etiquette
* Think before you speak.
* Try to remain patient with the world around you, and resist the temptation to react when presented with bad behavior.
* Approach life with an attitude of respect - treating everyone you encounter with thoughtful regard.
* Be aware that your actions, both good and bad have a cause and effect.
* How you present yourself to the world is how people see you. your inside is invisible to them. It's not just being a good person that matters, it's how you present that good person.
* Careful planning and a relaxed attitude will help you sail through most social situations.
* The secret to successful social interacting is to make others feel comfortable.
* Have fun while being considerate of others; Don't let it be perceived as a chore. Remember sincerity is everything - so even if you have to, fake sincerity ...Just Kidding.
