Manners do matter. They matter baecause its nice and it's like respect for your peers and adults and other people. A time when i was polite was when i asked the lunch ladies nicely may i please have my lunch! i think.... But i do sometimes do things without people having to ask me! But it is very rare! I felt good when i do the right things with out being asked to do them.

I was showing manners one time for holding the door for a old lady. I was at the mall and she was cripled. I held both doors for her. She thanked me and it felt good inside. I like having manners because it feels good and makes you feel a part of something wonderful.

Manners do matter because they show others that you are polite, courteous, ect. Once my mom took me to her work for a special event, her job is silimilar to that of a nursing home, and after meeting all the elderly people their I was polite and courteous around them. It made me feel good.

I always o things around the house without being asked, I feel really good about myself.

I guess manners matter. People like you more if your actually nice to them in stead of going (ccensored for a few words) to them. I don't feel good when i'm courteous or polite i feel the same. Aslo, when I do something for someone without them asking no one cares. I don't care they don't care it doesn't matter.
