About this product

Product Information

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, as teens themselves reported in a nationwide survey. In How Rude , author Alex J. Packer blends outrageous humor with sound advice as he guides readers through the mysterious world of manners from A ("Applause") to Z ("Zits"). He starts 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. Full of practical tips for every occasion, How Rude is a serious etiquette encyclopedia--and a hilarious read.

  • How Rude!...Thank you Dr. Packer

    I am a Jr. High school teacher and I purchased this book as a resource for my advisory class. This class is focused mainly on education/occupation planning. How Rude! is an excellent way to introduce a little bit of manners into the lives of my students. This book is so funny they hardly realize they are learning proper manners. We have had some amazing discussions. I also bring it out periodically to read with my own children. My teenager loves it, but I am still working on my 6 year old. The author has a great selection of books in the area of manners, but this particular one is my favorite. It covers everything from handling gassy situations to what to wear for a job interview. I see so many students that come from very affluent families with two working parents who just don't ...

  • Highly recommended reading - How Rude!

    This book is well written and will hold the interest of children and teens alike. It was purchased (at a great price on www.half.com) for my grandson who is 13 years of age and is lacking in manners and the importance thereof. After pre-reading the book, I am convinced he will learn a great deal from it and would highly recommend this reading for all parents, grandparents and youngsters!

  • Good Manners, Best Resource

    Best book for Summer Charm School with grandma or just for the kids to explore.
