To Whom It May Concern,

I am sorry to inform you, but the word Hello has died. And along with it good manners and common courtesy.

Please let us all have a moment of silence in remembrance of these dead and buried traits that used to be alive and strong and taught to every and all. Now please have a moment of silence and while you are silent please read my list of things that have died.

Respect for others
Calling an adult Mr. or Mrs/Miss until other wise told so
Self respect
Thank you
You are welcome
Holding the door open for someone
Opening the door for a date
Carrying books/bags for a girl
Helping someone to their car with their items
SMILING AT STRANGERS
Saying Hello to people
COVERING UP YOUR BODY IN PUBLIC
Keeping things to yourself when they will hurt others
Shaking hands
Looking someone in the eye when you talk to them
Please
I LOVE YOU ACTUALLY MEANING SOMETHING
White lies
Caring about others Feelings
Supporting others, even when you know they are wrong
Following orders
Writing REAL letters
Chivalry

That's all I can think of at the moment, but I am sure that you have others. If so please just comment and I will add them in.

Thank you for your moment of silence.

Deepest Regards,
Ashlie Mae

especially if you are a teacher. I recommend the book "Generation Me" to get more insight into this very topic!

I also think general caution in conversation and meaningful expression in everyday discourse has expired...carefully choosing one's words to accurately express how you feel, rather than just talking.

great post!
