so people know you’re paying attention. As a proper young lady, it’s important that you let people know that they have your undivided attention when you greet  them and when you’re having a conversation. Making eye contact shows the person that you’re talking to that you’re listening and that you respect what they have to say. This is particularly important when you’re meeting someone new. By making eye contact, you’ll appear warm and friendly and make them feel more at ease. Gossip is often mean-spirited and can be very hurtful, so it’s best to avoid participating in gossip as much as possible. While gossiping with your friends can be tempting, consider how you’d feel if you were the subject of gossip. If you know that you’d be hurt by something that you or your friends are saying, try to avoid saying it.  Instead of gossiping, try to focus on other people’s positive qualities. Even if you don’t particularly enjoy someone’s company, there are surely a few things about them that you like or admire. This is especially important when you’re communicating through email, text, or social media, as your words can easily be reproduced and hurt someone. While it’s important that you feel proud of your accomplishments, avoid bragging excessively about what you have or what you’ve done. People will likely find out about your accomplishments over time – you don’t need to brag in order to get credit and feel proud of yourself.  For example, if you recently got accepted into a prestigious art school, avoid bringing it up to people in casual conversation. Instead, you can let people know when they ask you what you’re doing next year, or what’s new with you. As a proper young lady, it’s particularly important that you avoid bragging about material things that you own. This is quite unbecoming and often makes the person you’re talking to feel bad if they can’t afford what you have. The language you use when you talk to people represents who you are and what you care about. Therefore, it’s important that you avoid using rude language that may offend people and make you seem abrasive or brash. In addition, try to avoid saying anything off-kilter or potentially offensive for the sake of shock value. You don’t need to shock people to get them to think highly of you. In fact, it will likely do quite the opposite.  For example, avoid using curse words in social situations, particularly when you are the guest at someone’s house. While you may have a funny story about a wild night out, for example, save these stories for private conversations with close friends. This simple gesture is one of the easiest ways for you to act like a proper young lady. Saying please and thank you when someone offers you something will show your appreciation and demonstrate that you are a polite, gracious, and respectful. Once you start saying please and thank you, you’ll eventually get in the habit of doing so all the time, making this a particularly easy way to act like a proper young lady. Regardless of who you’re talking to or what you’re talking about, try to avoid raising your voice to draw attention to yourself or make a point. Instead, try to speak evenly, clearly, and articulately. People will be much more likely to be receptive to what you’re saying, and you won’t come off as rude or obnoxious. This is particularly important when you disagree with someone. You don’t need to raise your voice to prove you’re right. Instead, try to calmly explain your point of view. As a proper young lady, it’s important that you’re able to have conversations with people about a wide variety of topic. Therefore, try to read or watch the news every morning so that you stay up-to-date on important current events. It will also make you feel more confident when you talk to others if you’re able to make informed, intelligent contributions to the conversation. Being honest and dependable are both crucial attributes for you to have if you want to be considered a proper young woman. While it’s important that you’re always polite and avoid getting involved in confrontational situations, it’s also important that you are honest with people, and follow through when you make commitments. It would be difficult for others to respect you as a proper young lady if you aren’t honest and dependable.
