Manners for 14-17: Teen Etiquette

Courtesy, respect, and confidence in party and dining situations is becoming very important to this age group. Teen Etiquette answers a lot of their questions about how to approach social and academic situations. Most teens have a strong intuitive sense that appropriate behavior on their part results in acceptance of them by peers and adults. This class helps them understand that good manners are not just for special occasions, but really work for them in everyday life.
