I wish my parents and teachers had taught me social manners in such a nice manner. I was just yelled at all the time and punished for "being stubborn" and "acting out." Most of the time, I had no clue why I was being punished or any idea what I did was "wrong". It made no sense to me. Oh, yeah, my mom would always yelp at me to "stop embarrassing" her between the ages of 8 and 12 but had no clue what the concept of "embarrassment" meant.
I often had no idea I was being rude and was yelled at for it anyway. Stubborn was practicaly my middle name but I would hurt them physicaly if they tried to touch me. My manners improved when my parents took me out to homeschool me and my parents were always complemented on how polite I was. I just learned to be extra polite to compensate for not knowing "socal graces".
